Tim; The URI is valid, but the qname is not because it starts with a number. The grammar for an XML prefixed names (which RDF uses regardless of RDF/XML or Turtle format) is PrefixedName ::= Prefix ':' LocalPart, where LocalPart eventually boils down to the spec for the start character at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-NameStartChar.
Therefore nothing happens in the Turtle file, because the prefix isn't valid. -- Scott On Sep 11, 6:59 pm, Tim Harsch <[email protected]> wrote: > i was hoping to decrease the storage requirements on a 300+MB Turtle > file.
