I was misled by the use case I had for collections. Right, that works. But what I would like to express is: [ a rdf:Seq; rdf:_1 [ q:r "yep" ]; rdf:_2 [ s:t "yup" ] ] what is the solution for that? We _could_ say, of course, that RDFa does _not_ have a construction for that, and move on. Which is o.k. for rdf:Seq, because that can be encoded directly without too much trouble, but becomes a royal pain if what I want to express is: <> abc:def ([q:r "yep"] [s:t "yup]) Ivan > Regards, > > Mark > -- Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ PGP Key: http://www.ivan-herman.net/pgpkey.html FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf
