The RDF Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax. This document is the first version of the document that, eventually, will replace the similar document published in 2004. The most significant changes from the 2004 edition are: modified string literals, a section on skolemization of blank nodes, or many updated references to other specifications (including a change in terminology from “URI references” to “IRIs”). Various areas of work to be tackled in upcoming working drafts are also highlighted throughout the document, but should not yet be understood as an exhaustive list.
