Nomens as blank nodes in RDF

  • 1.  Nomens as blank nodes in RDF

    Posted 6 hours ago

    Hello. Are Nomens intended to be blank nodes or named nodes? For example, is this preferred?:

    library:A60 rdaa:surname.en [ a rdac:Nomen.en; rdan:nomenString.en "Tolstoy"@en ] .

    or is this preferred?:

    library:N1234 a rdac:Nomen.en ;
                  rdan:nomenString.en "Tolstoy"@en .

    library:A60 rdaa:surname.en library:N1234 .

    I lean towards blank nodes (i.e. the former example) because of slide 4 of this PDF.
