I don't yet understand what you're talking about in your reply, so while I read it again several times, let me just clarify my original concern which apparently wasn't as clear as I thought it was. Let's say I have the following relation, complete with header and body: +----------------+----------------+----------------+ | URI | dc.title | dc.subject | =================|----------------|----------------| | <...#mybook> | "My Book" | "semantic web" | | <...#yourbok> | "Your Book" | "database" | ... Now, if <...#mybook> has a dc:subject of "airplanes" in addition to its dc.subject of "semantic web", where do I put that in the relational model? I can't add another "table column". I'll go read your response again in the meantime. Thanks, Garret
