Given the notion of reification, it would be nice to be able to simply say "property X defined within description Y has the timeframe 1987-1993". As far as I can tell, however, this is impossible, since there is no way to make a statement about a single member of a container (the contained in this case being the Bag of property statements contained by the description). Even if I could, I would be restricted to identifying the property as "the first element of the bag". Given that RDF makes no constraints on ordering within a description, this would be completely unreliable! Unless I am missing something, the darkness really does strike at the heart. Gack!
