[redland-dev] Serializer namespace issues

[Kieron Taylor]

I am finding that the RDF I parse is being mangled somewhat when I 
change and serialize it again.

Firstly, I am having some namespaces in my URIs overwritten. I suspect 
this is because of the baseuri setting given when we create the 
parser/serializer objects. I am not clear on the purpose of the baseuri 
variable, could someone explain it for me?

Secondly, when I have a triple that points to a resource, Redland seems 
to be stripping off the namespace part and leaving only the schema I was 
referring to. This is particularly bad because RDF parsers/renderers 
such as IsaViz assign another namespace to them instead, which is 
invariably wrong. Why is this happening?

To illustrate, the resource I create is something like:
http://myurl.com/schema.rdfs#Class

but when serialized it appears in the file as:
schema.rdfs#Class

Thanks in advance,

Kieron
