The Notation3 alternate serialization of RDF [1] has something called path syntax [2] which lets you do roughly what you're looking for, e.g.:- :Joe!:name This expression, however, just generates the following triple and returns the subject:- [ is :name of :Joe ] . So it's basically a query... but I've been thinking recently that N3 paths would make interesting identifiers. Of course, then you couldn't use bNodes or QNames in the path... Something to consider, anyway. [1] http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Notation3 [2] http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/doc/Shortcuts -- Sean B.
