Hi Brian, The only 'factoring' that you can do is with @rel and @rev; the 'hanging triple' behaviour allows you to have the object of the triple at some distance from the predicate, which effectively means you can 'reuse' a predicate many times over: <table about="#brian" rel="foaf:knows"> <tr resource="#alice"> <td property="foaf:name">Alice</td> </tr> <tr resource="#bob"> <td property="foaf:name">Bob</td> </tr> </table> However, with @property you'll end up with an XML literal if you try to take the same 'hanging' approach, and @datatype must also be attached to the same element.
