perfect, thanks kingsley :)

only q (which i still don't follow) is that afaik I *need* to specify in
 rdf where one can find the HTML document, no point describing something
people can't find... noted that in you're own rdf you use:
<resource>
<http://www.openlinksw.com/schema/attribution#isDescribedUsing> <url>

i essentially need the equiv for anything;

  <http://example.lod/uri/html-document-123>
 <canBeFound> <here/URL> .
or
 <has_link> <here/URL> .

the thing I'm describing can be found at web address, ie show the human
this version etc etc (if you follow)

regards,

nathan
