A note on CURIE-s in tutorials, primers, examples...

[Ivan Herman]

I have spent some time in the past few days in adding RDFa to various files, and I have realized that one of the recurring mistakes I did was the protected curie vs URI-s. Ie, if I type in, say, a @resource value, I'd put in a CURIE and I'd regularly forget to put the CURIE into a '[' and ']' pair. Fortunately, my implementation has a flag to generate warnings, and one of the warnings I added was when a value is not protected, but does not begin with the usual 'http:', 'mailto:', etc. It turned out to be very useful....

Of course, it may be only me...

The reason I say all that: it is probably worth emphasizing this several times in the various documents. Of course, it is mentioned in, say, the CURIE processing session in the syntax document, but maybe more emphasis would be helpful... And we should probably draw attention on this in tutorials and other places where we present RDFa...
