To represent this with test cases, given:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:eg="http://example.org/">
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.example.org">
<eg:property>some property value</eg:property>
<eg:property>some property value</eg:property>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
then it seems like we'll need two resulting .nt files. One with:
<http://www.example.org> <http://example.org/property> "some property value" .
and the other with:
<http://www.example.org> <http://example.org/property> "some property value" .
<http://www.example.org> <http://example.org/property> "some property value" .
Would some test cases like this reflect the WG's decsion on this?
