I think that's more of a question for one of the semweb lists, rather than here. My guess though, is that this would not work, since it would also imply that a literal is equivalent to a URI...which simply cannot be, because fundamental RDF premises say they are not the same. But like I say, I think you'd need to raise that question on a more appropriate list. (And be prepared for the ensuing debate. ;)) Regards, Mark -- Mark Birbeck, webBackplane mark.birbeck@webBackplane.com http://webBackplane.com/mark-birbeck webBackplane is a trading name of Backplane Ltd.
