RDF Structure (was Extension property: "using")

Thanks for the explanation. I think I've got it now and I'm OK with having 
this extra flexibility.

This is one topic that I'm still not clear on so please forgive my 
ignorance. I assume that our EARL, which is RDF and XML, will have a schema 
which states which elements and attributes can be present. The schema may 
also state the order in which some elements must occur. It may also state 
which elements may contain other elements. Are my assumptions correct?

I know that you can mix RDF documents but my concern is that it will be 
difficult to process the EARL as XML because I won't know where things are.

For example, the file that passed or failed a guideline will always be 
marked like:
<earl:WebContent rdf:about="#subject">
 <earl:reprOf rdf:resource="URI to the file"/>
</earl:WebContent>

Is that right?

Cheers,
Chris
