Hi, The warning means that every RDF attribute (e.g. about, resource, etc.) should be qualified with a namespace (e.g. rdf:about and rdf:resource). You are correct in noting that the examples in the M&S spec do not follow this. The RDF Core WG: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/ is working on clarifications of the RDF Model and Syntax specification. The WG has decided that the spec is in error and ALL attributes MUST be qualifed with a namespace. See the following for more information: http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdf-ns-prefix-confusion Art Barstow ---
