ISSUE-39: Profiles, term mappings, and URIs as literals
rdfa term mapping triples
Profiles, term mappings, and URIs as literals
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- RDFa 1.1 Core
- Raised by:
- Manu Sporny
- Opened on:
- 2010-08-05
- Description:
- From Richard Cyganiak:
This is a comment on Profiles in the latest RDFa WD [1]. The draft provides a mechanism for establishing term mappings using RDF triples of the following general shape:
?x rdfa:term "name" .
?x rdfa:uri "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name" .
I ask that the mechanism be changed to the following form:
<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> rdfa:term "name" .
This change should be made for the following reasons:
1. Conciseness. If one triple is enough to say it, there should be one triple.
2. Putting URIs into RDF literals is almost always an anti-pattern.
3. The principle of least surprise.
4. Using a URI simplifies the creation of self-contained profiles that contain a set of term mappings along with labels for the classes and properties, mappings to other vocabularies, presentation hints etc.
5. Using a URI simplifies the extension of existing RDF Schema documents (e.g., the RDF version of the FOAF spec) to RDFa profiles.
