Dear, Landong, RDFa does not have any syntax for named graphs at this time. For the time being the issue of named graph (semantics, possible syntaxes, etc) is still being discussed in the RDF WG and it would be premature to add this to RDFa. This is clearly the topic of future discussions for a next release of RDFa once the RDF concepts have been clarified.

I am wondering if this assumption has somehow restricted the expressivity of RDFa, i.e. metadata with strong coherent relationship can not be published within the same page of the document? > > I am looking forward to your comment and suggestion.
