Umm... mental model... dunno. It involves 2 changes: * no literals in the property slot. no great loss there... * no bnodes in the property slot. Real loss of functionality. I don't have a strong argument that it was ever there, but I use it quite a bit, and I expect there are things we want to model with RDF that won't work without it. (in particular: languages with n-ary functions/relations). > I think that can be used to specify graphs in the sense Pat is using them. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
