IMHO an emphatic NO.
RDF is about constructing structured descriptions where "Subjects" have
Identifiers in the form of Name References (which may or many resolve to
Structured Representations of Referents carried or borne by Descriptor
Docs/Resources). An "Identifier" != Literal.
If you are in a situation where you can't or don't want to mint an HTTP
based Name, simply use a URN, it does the job.
It does look like you're already using literal subjects in OpenLink
Virtuoso though:
http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/rdfsparql.html
SQL>SELECT *
FROM <people>
WHERE
{
?s foaf:Name ?name . ?name bif:contains "'rich*'".
}
Best,

Were is the Literal Subject in the query above?
bif:contains is a function/magic predicate scoped to Literal Objects.
<people> != "people".
What am I missing?
