Generating and IRI from an email address

[psiotwo]

I need to turn a value like 'a@example.com' into an IRI <a@example.com>:

• rr:objectMap [ rml:reference "email" ] - generates a literal "a@example.com"
• rr:objectMap [ rml:reference "email" ; rr:termType rr:IRI ] - generates an IRI prepended with BASE, i.e. <https://some-base-of-the-document/a@example.com>

But I need <a@example.com>.

Is it possible? If yes, how? Thanks a lot.

The IRI must be a valid one, yours:

<a@example.com>

Is not really a valid one. If the IRI is not an absolute one, the [R2]RML specification [1] specifies that the base IRI of the mapping should be used to get an absolute IRI. This is what you see here.

<mailto:a@example.com>

This should be a valid absolute IRI, thus the base IRI is not put in front then.
