Yes, this is a consequence of the wording in section 4.2 > b) Do you consider such restrictions significant? They're significant, but not showstoppers, I think - at least, that's what I _thought_, because I was focussing on the use of RDF to express OWL DL. Looking at the reverse process (going from RDF graphs to the abstract syntax), it does appear that the idiomatic use of bnodes that characterise the RDFS applications I've seen thus far (I'm talking about grassroots stuff like FOAF) doesn't fit well here. That is, I'm coming around to the point of view that this is maybe more of an issue than it might at first appear. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ YKYBPTMRogueW... you try to move diagonally in vi.
