For example, instead of denoting "Eric Lease Morgan", I'd like to specify "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q102275801", but if I simply put the URI in the content attribute, then how will an RDF processor know the value is a URI?


I think that you would add a ‘datatype’ attribute to the element.  I’m just not sure what the appropriate value for it would be.
