Re: Media type for FHIR RDF in Turtle

However, one thing the RDF does not do: it does not tell you the 
boundary of what is included in a document.  If a FHIR resource is 
represented in RDF, there is nothing explicit in it to indicate that the 
document contains all and only the RDF triples for that FHIR resource. 
This is a little different from the XML and JSON worlds, in which there 
is an explicit top element, with everything else nested inside.  But 
aside from that caveat, one should be able to look at the RDF triples to 
see that it contains a fhir:AllergyInterance resource, for example.

Actually, I'm noticing that our current example is lacking the explicit 
mention of fhir:AllergyIntolerance, so I've raise an issue about that:
