>> Hi,
>> 
>> I found out that rdf:Alt/Seq/Bag are marked as archaic <https://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/ArchaicFeatures> by w3c as in this discussion <https://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/track/issues/24>. So I guess they are no longer preferred way of doing things. I get it that rdf:List(RDF Collections) may be used instead of rdf:Seq, but what about rdf:Alt? How does one represent it now in RDF/XML as it has been marked as archaic. Consider the following snippet
>> 
>> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns>
>> xmlns:smp="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/smp" <http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/smp>>
>> <rdf:Description>
>>     <smp:prop1>
>>         <rdf:Alt>
>>             <rdf:li>XMP</rdf:li>
>>             <rdf:li>metadata</rdf:li>
>>         </rdf:Alt>
>>     </smp:prop1>
>> </rdf:Description>
>> </rdf:RDF>
>> Is there any other way to represent an array of alternates like smp:prop1 here in RDF/XML?
>> 
>> Also I noticed that rdf:value has also been made archaic. What is the reason for that? I didn’t find much in the mail discussions. Like in following example, rdf:value was being used here to tell the actual value of a property(<dc:source>) when additional data(<xe:qualifier1>) about the value was present.
>> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>"
>> xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>"
>> xmlns:xe="http://ns.adobe.com/xmp-example/ <http://ns.adobe.com/xmp-example/>">
>> <rdf:Description rdf:about="">
>>     <dc:source>
>>         <rdf:Description>
>>             <rdf:value>Specification, April 2010</rdf:value>
>>             <xe:qualifier1>artificial example1</xe:qualifier1>
>>         </rdf:Description>
>>     </dc:source>
>> </rdf:Description>
>> </rdf:RDF>
>> 
>> Can anyone tell me what would be another way of doing this if rdf:value is not be used??
>> 
>> Thanks,

>> P.S.  I am adding some of the people that I saw involved in the mail discussion in cc, just in case. But it would be great if anyone from the group can help me out on the above issues.
