Hi Peter,

thank you for taking the time to review the draft -- this is very much
appreciated. Answers are inline.

I understand and agree. Would the following suggestion work, i.e.
adding annotation properties as follows?

 p:Population o:hasStatementProperty s:Population .
 p:Population o:hasValueProperty v:Population .
 p:Population o:hasQualifierProperty q:Population .

Or does anyone have a better idea? If not, I will add this to the draft.

Yes, it was a typo. Corrected.
I like to use the rdfs:label at this place (i.e. for giving a label to
the Statement instance) as it really makes a very readable rendering
in most current linked data browsers. Otherwise I am not particularly
attached to this solution.

I am not attached to one or the other. If no one weights in on this I
will go with your suggestion.

This comment confuses me. I do not know how else to represent the
respective OWL axioms in RDF. Are you suggesting to leave the
restrictions out of the RDF export?

You are correct. I corrected it, thanks.

Again thank you,
