W3C RDF Validation Service - resulting triples

Hi,

 

In the OWL Web OntologyLanguage Guide, par. 3.1.2 I found;

 

<owl:Thing rdf:ID="CentralCoastRegion" /> 
 
<owl:Thing rdf:about="#CentralCoastRegion"> 
   <rdf:type rdf:resource="#Region"/> 
</owl:Thing>

 

When I ran similar constructs in the W3C RDF Validation Service it resulted
in two perfectly identical triples, like for the above case:

 

<http://www.example.com#CentralCoastRegion> 

<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> 

<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Thing> .

 

<http://www.example.com#CentralCoastRegion> 

<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> 

<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Thing> .

 

I assume that I can throw away one of them. Is that correct?

 

Regards,

Hans
