The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=598 ====================================================================== Reported By: sbpcs59 Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: Raptor RDF Syntax Library Issue ID: 598 Category: api Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new Syntax Name: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-06-05 11:30 Last Modified: 2015-06-05 11:30 ====================================================================== Summary: librdf_serializer_serialize_model_to_file doesn't group related statements together Description: The redland serializer doesn't group RDF subjects together as described at http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#section-Syntax-multiple-property-elements.
Grouping subjects together isn't a requirement of the W3C recommendation, but it makes documents alot easier to visually inspect them without having to translate them to another format. I've looked for serializer options to group subjects or similiar, but haven't found one for this. An example of this behavior can be seen when parsing the following document into librdf model, then serializing it back out again. Here is the input document: <?xml version="1.0"?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.dajobe.org/";> <dc:title>Dave Beckett's Home Page</dc:title> <dc:creator>Dave Beckett</dc:creator> <dc:description>The generic home page of Dave Beckett.</dc:description> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> And the serialize document: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"; xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; xml:base="http://example.org/base.rdf";> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.dajobe.org/";> <dc:description>The generic home page of Dave Beckett.</dc:description> </rdf:Description> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.dajobe.org/";> <dc:title>Dave Beckett's Home Page</dc:title> </rdf:Description> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.dajobe.org/";> <dc:creator>Dave Beckett</dc:creator> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> Granted, having RDF statements grouped together is just an enhancement, but it sure would make visual verification of serialzed RDF models easier. Steps to Reproduce: read in the sample input model write it out to disk using librdf_serializer_serialize_model_to_file inspect output ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-06-05 11:30 sbpcs59 New Issue ====================================================================== _______________________________________________ redland-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.librdf.org/mailman/listinfo/redland-dev
