Embeded bagID from Pierre-Antoine CHAMPIN on 2001-02-12 (www-rdf-comments@w3.org from January to March 2001) (original) (raw)

There is (IMHO) an ambiguity in the spec :

what model should the following RDF piece return ?

<rdf:Description about="a" bagID="bag1"> <some:prop rdf:ID="st1"> <rdf:Description about="b" bagID="bag2"> <some:otherProp rdf:ID="st2"> A literal

Clearly, this will produce a bag #bag2 containing statement #st2, but what should the bag #bag1 contain ?

Though my interpretation would be #st1 AND #st2, SiRPAC make it only contain #st1, as if #bag2 hide #bag1.

is this a bug or a feature of SiRPAC ? is there a wrong and a right interpretation ? if mine is wrong, what is the rationale of the right interpretation ?
