ISSUE-46: Should plain literals that match fully qualified IRIs be automatically converted to IRIs

conversion of plain literals to IRIs

Should plain literals that match fully qualified IRIs be automatically converted to IRIs

State:

CLOSED

Product:

LC Comment - RDFa Core 1.1

Raised by:

Ivan Herman

Opened on:

2010-10-03

Description:

This issue was raised by two large RDFa adopters that would like to see the following markup

<meta property="foo:bar" content="http://example.org/baz" />

generate the following triple:

<> foo:bar <http://example.org/baz>

instead of what would be created in RDFa 1.0:

<> foo:bar "http://example.org/baz"

It's fairly clear that the author intended the first triple and not the second, however, RDFa does not allow a simple way to generate the first triple. The change request would make it such that when an IRI is detected as a plain literal, the value is converted to an IRI. If the author would prefer to generate a plain literal instead, datatype="" could be provided in those corner cases.

It has been suggested that we add this as an at-risk feature to RDFa Core and ask for broader community feedback.
