ISSUE-74: Prefixed names and slashes

Prefixed names and slashes

State:

CLOSED

Product:

RDF Turtle

Raised by:

Gavin Carothers

Opened on:

2011-08-12

Description:

Something odd happened when we changed Turtles escape process with regards to prefixed local names, and slashes.

Good Old Turtle:

Allowed:
@prefix bob: http://example.org/bob/ .
bob:name

Not Allowed:
@prefix bob: http://example.org/bob/ .
bob:goldfish/1

Slashes not allowed in local names, thanks to restricting them to be QNames.

New Turtle:

Allowed:
@prefix bob: http://example.org/bob/ .
bob:name

Not Allowed:
@prefix bob: http://example.org/bob/ .
bob:goldfish/1

Allowed:
@prefix bob: http://example.org/bob/ .
bob:goldfish\u002F1

This is vary strange.

I'm not sure what the rational for continuing to disallow /'s in the local part of prefixed name is. RDFa via the CURIE spec via the IRI fragement production allows them.
