Issue 16495: ODM does not support internationalized URIs (odm-rtf) Source: Thematix Partners LLC (Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall, ekendall(at)thematix.com) Nature: Revision Severity: Significant Summary: Revise the RDF metamodel and profile to reflect modifications to the W3C standards to use internationalized URIs (IRIs). Resolution: see pages 124 - 146 of ptc/2013-12-01 for details Revised Text: Actions taken: August 19, 2011: received issue April 25, 2014: closed issue Discussion: When the ODM 1.0 specification was originally published, the W3C Recommendation for internationalized URIs (IRIs) had not yet been published. It was made available shortly after ODM publication, however, and the OWL 2 recommendation in particular relies on it heavily. The ODM metamodels and profiles for RDF and OWL should be revised accordingly. One specific change is the lack of a need to separate URIReference from UniformResourceIdentifier (which inherited from it) going forward. For most use cases of the ODM metamodels and profiles, the distinction between an IRI and a URI can be eliminated, although in practice, a URI represents a more constrained character string, i.e., additional escaped and special Unicode characters are permitted in IRIs that are not allowed in URIs. The RTF has elected to eliminate the URIReference altogether, and retain the definition of a URI as support for those applications/models that require it. Note 1: Application of this resolution anticipates that the resolution of issue 13938, which addresses the changes required to section 14.1.2.1 Namespace Definitions, will be applied first.
