They mean the same thing (ie the same set of triples). It's just that the RDF/XML writer has made a particular set of choices for rendering the RDF. RDF-aware code reading those two different outputs won't care about the difference. If it's REALLY IMPORTANT to you that the output looks EXACTLY SO, then you have a certain amount of control over the XML -- see the IO HOWTO. Better not to need to care IMAO. > writer.write(model, System.out, baseURI); This means that when the model is read in, the terms that had namespace http://somewhere/# will have some namespace that depends on where they were read from.
