Prefixes incomplete in turtle file added to the server #891
Description
I add the following Turtle to the server (via HTTP PUT) at the location https://ph_test.solid.community/public/test.ttl:
<https://ph_test.solid.community/public/test.ttl#something> a <http://schema.org/Thing>;
<http://schema.org/test> <https://ph_test.solid.community/profile/card#me>;
<http://schema.org/test2> <https://ph2.solid.community/profile/card#me>.
However, when I do HTTP GET of https://ph_test.solid.community/public/test.ttl#something I get:
@prefix : <#>.
@prefix schema: <http://schema.org/>.
@prefix c: </profile/card#>.
@prefix c0: <https://ph2.solid.community/profile/card#>.
:something
a schema:Thing.
:something schema:test c:me.
:something schema:test2 c0:me.
The problems are that I do not have the full URL of :something as the prefix has only # and the prefix c does not have the full IRI as the hostname is missing. Is it possible to get the full IRIs in the prefixes?

Actually, these are relative URIs, and the resolution is done by the parser, or somewhere in the app code. Usually, you will end up setting it relative to the URI of the document. In your case, following the algorithm in RFC3986, the URI of
:somethingwould behttps://ph_test.solid.community/public/test.ttl#something.This is actually pretty useful, because it allows you to write Turtle before you know the full URI of the resource that you're writing. You can do the same thing in HTML documents.
Nevertheless, since I think one man's confusion is an opportunity to improve the developer experience, what we should look into is the tool support that helps setting the base URI, if that's clear enough.

I was thinking that it was something like that, but I was confused about paths starting with
#and/, but got it working now (see below).Cool! Hadn't thought about it like that 😄
At the moment I do the GET and parse the file with the
N3.Parserto which I provide the baseIRI.kjetilk commentedon Oct 30, 2018
Right! I think we could make the Turtle a bit more human friendly too! :-)

Nice! 😄 Thanks for the clarifications.
