Internationalized Resource Identifier - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
IRIs, URIs for every language
On the Internet, the internationalized resource identifier (IRI) is a generalization of the uniform resource identifier (URI). While URIs are limited to a subset of the ASCII character set, IRIs may contain characters from the Universal Character Set (Unicode/ISO 10646)…
Internationalized Resource Identifiers (iris)
The philosophical problem of identifiers
There is a philosophical problem with all identifiers, particularly obvious in an international context. Identifiers are not only used by computers, but also by humans. Humans have a strong preference for using mnemonic names: you call the address field in a form address and…

Machine processable statements in rdf
RDF is about making machine-processable statements. To make these kinds of statements suitable for processing by machines, two things are needed: - a system of machine-processable identifiers for identifying a subject, predicate, or object in a statement without any possibility…
Blank node identifiers
Since a complex graph might contain more than one blank node, there also needs to be a way to differentiate between these different blank nodes in a triples representation of the graph. As a result, triples use blank node identifiers, having the form _:name, to indicate the…
Anyone can mint a URI
..the Web provides a general form of identifier, called the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), for identifying (naming) resources on the Web. Unlike URLs, URIs are not limited to identifying things that have network locations, or use other computer access mechanisms. A number…
Writing an RDF graph in RDF/XML
Although additional abbreviated forms for writing RDF/XML are available, the facilities illustrated so far provide a simple but general way to express graphs in RDF/XML. Using these facilities, an RDF graph is written in RDF/XML as follows: - All blank nodes are assigned blank…
Similar URIrefs may name unrelated things
Another difference is in the way URIrefs with fragment identifiers are handled. [..] RDF uses URI references purely to identify resources, not to retrieve them, and RDF assumes no particular relationship between these two URIrefs. As far as RDF is concerned, they are…
Thesauri Of Historical Periods – A Proposal For Standardization.
Naming periods like biological species
[...] we identify a period concept with the term plus a reference to the first known publication that actually defined it, just as it is good practice in biology (Berendsohn 1995). We propose to create unique preferred terms as in biology (e.g.: Fringilla coelebs Linnaeus…
