Ok, ok, ok .. I was wrong .. mea copa.   So how do we represent the class of
oldsmobiles?

    [rdf:type rdfs:Class;
     :has :wheels, :motor; :
     :manufacturedBy :GM;
     :modelName "Oldsmobile"]

But then can we say the following?

  [rdfs:subclass  rdf:Statement
   rdf:subject  :S1
   rdf:predicate :P1
   rdf:object :O1
   dc:author :Seth]

If not, why not?
