RDFa Working Group,
Gregg Kellogg,
Greetings. If RDF collections are archaic then there might be a need for one or more new ontologies for use across digital documents (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-216/submission_12.pdf, http://code.google.com/p/collections-ontology/, http://purl.org/co, http://www.w3.org/TR/SMIL/smil-timing.html#q49).
I disagree that reification is archaic. Reification can enhance RDFa expressiveness and there are syntactic possiblities, syntactic sugar, for reification with RDFa (http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-core/#s_model, http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-core/#s_rdfaindetail).
Comments on RDF features such as Containers and reification should be directed to rdf-comments@w3.org<mailto:rdf-comments@w3.org>. This group concerns itself with serializing RDF in HTML, not the core concepts.

What is the status of the RDF API (http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-api/) and of the RDFa API (http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-api/)?
Kind regards,
Adam
