This would be a Bad Thing. Obviously that would be bad, no that is not what the requirement means. The RDF files look no different than before. The intent of the requirement is that when a PRISM-compliant application receives an RDF document which says: ... <dc:creator>Joe Smith</dc:creator> <dc:creator>Anna Baker</dc:creator> ... and it needs to output that information, the output must say: ... <dc:creator>Joe Smith</dc:creator> <dc:creator>Anna Baker</dc:creator> ... and must not say: ... <dc:creator>Anna Baker</dc:creator> <dc:creator>Joe Smith</dc:creator> ... even though Anna Baker would sort before Joe Smith. Inside my implementation I have not been keeping track of the original order of things. But I need to so that I can put out reasonable-looking bibliographic records. Regards, Ron
