Working on the assumption that there's at most a countably infinite set of URI(-refs) ... each is a finite sequence of charaters drawn from a finite alphabet ... and similarly for Literals, am I right to infer that, 1. there is at most a countable infinity of resources: because every resource has a URI(-ref) and no two distinct resources share a URI(-ref). hence that, 2. the set Resources from rdfms 5.1, is at most countably infinite, 3. the set Properties from 5.3 is at most countably infinite: because a (proper) subset of Resources. and hence that, 4. RDF models can contain at most countably many statements: becauce they're subsets of, Properties x Resources x (Resources U Literals) which is at most countably infinite because Properties, Resources and Literals are.
