IMO yes, it is worse; I'm suggesting something else; a separate class "instance" that declares that resource-x has been cached. What this boils down to is that the original question asked about using "true" or "http://xmlns.com/wordnet/1.6/true", and I'm advocating a third way, i.e. Rather than encoding the result of the question in the model (by providing a boolean value) I favour providing the means to answer the question. -Rich
