I agree; they are just different ways of representing the same information with different tradeoffs and strengths. Like using multiple properties vs. a rdf:bag. One question I have: Would using rdf:resource be slightly better in the above foaf example since foaf:workplaceHomepage links to the homepage of the user rather than the identifier of the hompage of the user? That is, the string <http://www.w3.org/> is not the hompage of Dan Brickley, the resource idenfified by (and in this case deferenced by) <http://www.w3.org/> is. -- Jimmy Cerra https://nemo.dev.java.net __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!
