The default behavior (as you described later in your message) would be to not map those entities to RDF. It is my understanding that this is what the current R2RML spec requires but I don't think this is explicitly stated. > > It is certainly not. I remember asking this question at some of my earlier reviews, and that was never properly discussed or decided as far as I remember (but my memory is failing with age...) > > > Ivan - As you read the R2RML spec, does it state or imply that entities not mapped by the R2RML mapping should be included in the output triples? Well... it is silent about it, or at least I have not found anything to the contrary. Which is not good because it leads to issues like this one:-) Ivan > > Thanks. > -David ---- Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ mobile: +31-641044153 PGP Key: http://www.ivan-herman.net/pgpkey.html FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf
