dc:hasPart and dc:isPartOf

Hi,

At least for the earl:subject element, I think it may be useful to add both dc:hasPart and dc:isPartOf as optional properties. The reason is to be able to describe more complex structures and relationships between subjects, for example:

* Scenario:
To make a transaction on a Web site, three pages (1, 2, and 3) need to be traversed.

* EARL Subject:
<earl:subject rdf:resource="http://www.example.org/service/">
  <dc:hasPart rdf:resource="http://www.example.org/page1"/>
  <dc:hasPart rdf:resource="http://www.example.org/page2"/>
  <dc:hasPart rdf:resource="http://www.example.org/page3"/>
</earl:subject>

Similar may be applicable to earl:testcase and even earl:assertion but the latter one can bring about unwanted implications on the earl:result and other properties of the assertions.

What do people think of that?

Best,
  Shadi
