Re: EARL schema uses odd parseType="Collection" on rdfs:subClassOf

Hi Dan,

Thanks for this important feedback, this comment has been recorded as 
Issue #30 on our EARL 1.0 Schema issues list:
  - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/EARL10/issues#schema-rdf>

I believe this formulation was taken from the OWL Guide or other W3C 
Recommendations but we will revise this and improve the RDF/XML.

Regards,
   Shadi
