In particular it suggests that using an ID in one rdf:RDF >element in the file, prohibits the use of the same ID in some other rdf:RDF >element. Interesting question. I agree multiple <rdf:RDF>s should be legal. But are they the same as al the RDF in a single element? I'm not so sure. I'd think that separate <rdf:RDF> elements would generate different RDF graphs. They might be used in different contexts, or different modes (e.g. assertion vs query). I think it would be safer, in the long run, to preserve the separate graphs, and allow an application to merge them if it that serves its purpose. #g ------------------------------------------------------------ Graham Klyne Baltimore Technologies Strategic Research Content Security Group <Graham.Klyne@Baltimore.com> <http://www.mimesweeper.com> <http://www.baltimore.com> ------------------------------------------------------------Received on Thursday, 6 September 2001 12:45:04 EDT
