It'll cause problems with the RDF/XML serialization if you try to serialize *properties* named that way. For N3 &c it should not cause problems because even though these *can* do namespace/name splitting, they can also always give the full URI. RDF/XML always requires property URIs to be split, and never splits URIs other than property and class URIs. (Class URIs can also be serialized without splitting them, using <rdf:Description><rdf:type rdf:about="..."/></rdf:Description> rather than <...></...>.) Hope this clears something up rather than making it even more unclear :-) - - Benja -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAZLlhUvR5J6wSKPMRAprbAJ9D4B6pfmWPzmrQuOGq3MkASkDRfQCgykia AbUYI2LaePqFEEfuVpojN4I= =ODra -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
