Dear Lars, Thanks a lot for pointing this out. While I don't have an answer to the procedural question you are asking (on how to do it within the W3C framework), I would like to point it out that the next version of the note will contain an appendix written by Bernard Vatant on expressing n-ary relations in Topic Maps: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2004Jul/0057.html This will probably address the first issue in your message. Any feedback on that will of course be appreciated (I don't think there was any feedback when Bernard posted the message).
