Thank you for the prompt reply, but I still need some additional help
regarding syntax.
My goal is to link my resources as well as literals to outside
resources. To link my books to additional versions of the books seems
easy. Either of the following two example validate, but the later --
with an attribute -- seems simpler:
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/"
xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#">
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://infomotions.com/etexts/resource/more-utopia-221
">
<dcterms:creator>More, Thomas</dcterms:creator>
<dcterms:subject>people</dcterms:subject>
<dcterms:subject>pleasure</dcterms:subject>
</rdf:Description>
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://infomotions.com/etexts/resource/more-utopia-221
">
<owl:sameAs rdf:resource="http://dbpedia.org/resource/
Utopia_(book)" />
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"

<owl:sameAs rdf:resource="http://dbpedia.org/resource/

<dcterms:creator>More, Thomas</dcterms:creator>
<dcterms:subject>people</dcterms:subject>
<dcterms:subject>pleasure</dcterms:subject>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
I suppose it is six of one and half a dozen of the other.
More importantly, how do link the creator and subject literals to
outside resources? Adding owl:sameAs proves to invalidate the dcterms
schema. Maybe I need to create local resources for each of my creators
and subjects, and then link those to outside resources?
