RE: Representing anonymous individual in SemWeb Best Practice documents

Brandon, Ian,

Thanks a lot for your responses.

I'm happy to report that your suggestions work and parse great both in
N3 and RDF/XML *syntax* :)

I'd like to point out that this is all part of a research task about (in
a nutshell) comparing different ontology modeling options to model
conceptual overlap in domain concepts. I am using the applicable
approaches and variations presented in the SWBPD WG docs as a starting
point.

I have also installed the 4.x version (didn't try before because it is
an alpha version) and the first impression after opening some of the OWL
ontologies I am using it is definitely very positive.

Note made :) I think that was my traditional C, C++, Java software
developer mindset drawing imprecise analogies :)

Thanks again,
