This draft seems incomplete / hard to navigate.
Apparently one of the new features of RDF 1.2 is „Quoted Triples“ where triples can be used as Subject / Object. But unfortunately it seems at least the Turtle representation doesn’t support this yet?
Also the „what’s new in SPARQL 1.2“ is rather empty.
Feels like the linked documents are in a very early stage of a draft.
- lukev 3y agoYes, it's an early draft. The "quoted triples" technique is otherwise known as "RDF-star" Here's an article that explains the motivations and alternatives pretty comprehensively: https://www.ontotext.com/knowledgehub/fundamentals/what-is-rdf-star/ https://www.ontotext.com/knowledgehub/fundamentals/what-is-r.... That's one of the reason for having an official 1.2 standard... so all the formats (including Turtle) will incorporate it in a compatible, correct way.
- hobofan 3y agoJust tacking it onto an existing standard is not how you get everyone to "incorporate it in a compatible, correct way". If anything, you'll get exactly the opposite, where laymen that try to shove Turtle 1.2 (which they just know as "Turtle") files, into an incompatible Turtle 1.1 parser which claims to be able to parse "Turtle" (which was a true statement until the release of Turtle 1.2), and things explode and headaches ensue.
- lukev 3y agoSometimes things work out that way. But a new official version of a W3C spec is not just "tacking it on." If data or software claims to be compliant with some version of the relevant W3C spec, they almost always actually are. And while the W3C specs can be a pain in the ass, it's because they're fairly precise and cover most of the edge cases.
- opminion 3y agoN3 (Notation 3), a superset of Turtle, can represent quoted triples.
