Eric,

Your N3/Turtle snippet when passed through an RDF processor:

[1] 
http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/proxy-iri/data/html/8cfc6d8a10c7126055024fa08ddbba0977f95dee

.

As you can see, we still have an issue with example that provide clarity 
rather than confusion (albeit inadvertently) to a variety of audiences.

## Turtle Start ##

<>
vocab:describes _:a, _:b, _:c .

_:a
rdfs:label "Something" ;
:location _:b .

_:b
rdfs:label "Something" ;
:address _:c .

_:c
rdfs:label "Something" ;
:postalCode "..." .


## Turtle End ##

The above tentatively processed at: 
http://kingsley.idehen.net/describe/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkingsley.idehen.net%2FDAV%2Fhome%2Fkidehen%2FPublic%2FLinked%2520Data%2520Documents%2FTutorials%2Fblank-nodes-example4.ttl 
.

Hopefully, this sheds light on some of my concerns i.e., how to RDF 
processors (humans and machines) get to the point (e.g., even producing 
what's denoted by the link above) where they can easily demonstrate RDF 
utility without getting drowned in frustration and confusion?
