I have just made a change to the Turtle language at http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/discovery/2004/01/turtle/ Turtle names (QNames) are now allowed to use '-'. This was made for several reasons: * '-' is already seen used in common RDF schema names, such as [1],[2],[3],[4] * It is natural to use this in converting from other formats that use '-' in names such as IETF ones like VCARD[2], iCalendar[4] * It matches a commonly seen XML naming convention to use foo:bar-baz as well as foo:barBaz (lots of XML examples, such as XSLT, XQuery, XPath) This change matches what implementations of Notation3 already do so should be straightforward.(I checked cwm, and Jena's N3 parser). There is a new test case for this change, linked from the Turtle page above. See the Changes section for all updates.
