Re: RDF-API and same predicate statements

Hi,

XML does not allow multiple occurences of the
same attribute in an element (thats the reason your second examples does 
not work...)
So
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.agfa.com/a"
          a:b="c"
          a:b="d"/>

can not work, because a:b ocures twice (already XML-parser delete one 
attribute).

The serizalization is wrong, it should use a bag or separate elements.


CU,
         Stefan
