Re: Linked Data

One would expect to find the owner's data on the "top of the heap", in HTML there it is, but in RDF the "heap" looks the same from top to bottom.  RDF Schema are normally written with scope description first, but that is a convention, not a rule.  A query needs "select", but "order by, having", not so much.
