Fwd: Query about alternative to rdf:Alt

Hi

I am forwarding following mail to this group as I found out that public-rdf-wg@w3.org<mailto:public-rdf-wg@w3.org> is no longer active. I hope someone can help me out on this.

Thanks,

Hi,

I found out that rdf:Alt/Seq/Bag are marked as archaic<https://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/ArchaicFeatures> by w3c as in this discussion<https://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/track/issues/24>. So I guess they are no longer preferred way of doing things. I get it that rdf:List(RDF Collections) may be used instead of rdf:Seq, but what about rdf:Alt? How does one represent it now in RDF/XML as it has been marked as archaic. Consider the following snippet

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns>
xmlns:smp="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/smp"<http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/smp>>
<rdf:Description>
    <smp:prop1>
        <rdf:Alt>
            <rdf:li>XMP</rdf:li>
            <rdf:li>metadata</rdf:li>
        </rdf:Alt>
    </smp:prop1>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
Is there any other way to represent an array of alternates like smp:prop1 here in RDF/XML?

Also I noticed that rdf:value has also been made archaic. What is the reason for that? I didn’t find much in the mail discussions. Like in following example, rdf:value was being used here to tell the actual value of a property(<dc:source>) when additional data(<xe:qualifier1>) about the value was present.
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:xe="http://ns.adobe.com/xmp-example/">
<rdf:Description rdf:about="">
    <dc:source>
        <rdf:Description>
            <rdf:value>Specification, April 2010</rdf:value>
            <xe:qualifier1>artificial example1</xe:qualifier1>
        </rdf:Description>
    </dc:source>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

Can anyone tell me what would be another way of doing this if rdf:value is not be used??

Thanks,
Anjan Kaur

P.S.  I am adding some of the people that I saw involved in the mail discussion in cc, just in case. But it would be great if anyone from the group can help me out on the above issues.
