RESOLVED: functional syntax - quotation in strings and literals

Reported by alanruttenberg, May 27, 2007

string := '"' a Unicode string in normal form C '"'

How does one include a '"' inside a string? Are there any other characters that need special quoting,
for example carriage returns?

Suppose, for example, I wish to include some xhtml as an XMLLiteral for a datatype property - are
we sure this will work?

In the current OWLAPI abstract syntax parser, this is hopelessly broken...

There should be a common solution for these kinds of things, at least between RIF and OWL, and probably for RDF as well (except that RDF doesn't have IRIs). However, I must admit that I'm not keen on the RDF mechanism.

Closed by Boris. We resolved to adopt turtle's convention.
