Hi Holger Thank You for your quick response but I think the link to
the blog post you included is not relevant to my question.

I am looking forward to your proposed solution to address this issue
in the 3.o release as the current generation of qnames for imports is
impractical.

I think this issue is actually related to the treatment of URIs for
the rdf:about property in TBC.

Best,
Marco
