Re: [Q] how to reference a rdf schema in an rdf instance file ?

Dear Jimmy,

thanks for your reply. It may be a very basic question,
but:

how does a computer now what rdfs file belongs to a
certain rdf file ?
(in xml we clearly have something like xsi:schema
location to point a machine to an xsd file that defines
a certain xml)

Cheers
Holger
