Right, that should do the trick for what I'm after today, thanks!
Deactivation is a great idea, btw.

What I had in mind more was the ability to load in a given vocabulary (and
perhaps store within a kind of template) and for it to be available for use
within docs in exactly the same fashion as terms from the rdf & rdfs
namespaces are currently available.

After my last mail I remembered one thing I found a little puzzling with the
way Jena had implemented these bits - i.e. having the static classes with
RDF.type or whatever. I think Brian's argument was basically that the terms
were static, hence this was the best approach. To me it struck me as being
more practical for this stuff to be loaded dynamically, which (if I remember
correctly) to some extent is possible with the API as it stands.

Cheers,
Danny.
