A Subject Relation is a URI. It is comprised of a ContextId URI combined with an optional identifier string called a SubjectId which if present is preceded by a forward slah, that uniquely identifies a Digital Subject within the Context identified by the ContextId. The SubjectId may only be omitted when the Context identified by the ContextId contains exactly one Digital Subject.
Two kinds of Relations are defined a URIrelation (Hash URI) and XRIrelation. The former is consistent with one of the two proposed W3C's Cool URIs approaches. The The latter is an XRI 2.0.
ABNF
The following ABNF defines a Higgins Relation. Rules not defined in this ABNF are defined in the ABNF for XRI 2.0 (which includes the IRI ABNF from RFC 3987).
relation = URIrelation / XRIrelation URIrelation = contextURI [ "#" subjectId ] XRIrelation = contextXRI [ "//" subjectId ]
