I am not following close enough the discussion on subjects as literals , and whtere they contribute to the awkwardness of RDF One thing I remember finding it disorienting though, is that there is no rule that a predicate must be a verb (when I was looking at triple as if it were a subject- predicate- object model ) In standard modelling practices (E/R modeling) the relations tend to be verbs CF PAGE 196 http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=1ftCwG4K-HEC&lpg=PA196&ots=FBX42Ms9Ys&dq=ENTITY%20RELATIONSHIP%20MODEL%20SENTENCE%20VERB%20RULE&pg=PA196#v=onepage&q&f=false I did bring this up on another list, and the engineers thought it would be good practice to restrict predicates to verbs for obvious reasons (obvious to anyone who does data models) Not sure how that would play if RDF is shown as EAV (entity attribute value) rather thant SPO (subject predicate object) Just thought I d mention this, in case someone wants to fix RDF thats the first crack I spottend a while back cheers PDMReceived on Thursday, 1 July 2010 15:13:53 UTC
