[Eulermoz-developers] Re: N3ParserX.py question

[naudts g. <nau...@ya...>]

Hallo Antonio,
I indeed did not implement these parts of the
specification, as I did not find these features very
usefull except for []). See further my comments after
your text.
Now the specification I give in my source code is a
specification but there are others and there is really
no official spec (it should have to be made) so I try
to follow what Berners-Lee writes in his introduction
to N3.
See for specifications:
www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Notation3.html 
I started also translating my parser to Javascript.
Are you doing the same thing? Or planning to do so?
Does it make sense that I make a translation?
If I do, I will add the missing features.

I implemented the forms:
:s has :p of :o.
and
:s is :p of :o.
So I could easily implement also the ">-", "->",
"<-" and "<-" by treating them just the same but does
this add much? Well, for completeness sake I ought
have done it, but I never did.

I did not implement []. Still missing. [] is equal to
the false value; it comes today in place of
log:falseHood; I know Jos De Roo  uses it.(Correct me
Jos if I am wrong)
The ":-" is another feature of the specification which
I did not implement as I thought this to be totally
superfluous.For its meaning see:
