Information About

Curie




A CURIE (short for ''Compact URI'') is an abbreviated URI expressed in CURIE syntax, and may be found in both XML and non-XML grammars. The format of a CURIE is based largely on the InterWiki Link syntax used by Wiki s such as Mediawiki . A CURIE may be considered a Datatype .

An example of CURIE syntax: {Link without Title}

The square brackets are used to prevent ambiguities between CURIEs and regular URIs.

QName s (the Namespace prefixes used in XML ) often are used as a CURIE, and may be considered a type of CURIE. CURIEs, as defined by the W3C , will be better defined and may include checking. Unlike QNames, the part of a CURIE after the colon does not need to conform to the rules for element names.

The first W3C Working Draft of CURIE syntax was released 7 March 2007 {Link without Title} .


EXAMPLE

This example is based on one from the W3C Working Draft 7 March 2007 , using a QName syntax within XHTML .
