Ralph, Browsing around the swbp-wg archives, I found this interesting note: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2004May/att-0003/n-aryRelations.html We've done some similar writing in the ESW wiki, and we actually found 3 patterns: "NaryRelations can be reduced to binary using various patterns: ArgumentList, CurriedFunction, RecordDescription." -- http://esw.w3.org/topic/NaryRelations RecordDescription is pretty much the same as "Pattern 2". Perhaps CurriedFunction is like "Pattern 1" but I'm not sure; I think it's somewhat novel. It's perhaps too obscure or contrived to recommend as best practice. I like it a lot but I don't think I have figured out how to explain why. But I suggest you incorporate ArgumentList. It's quite straightforward. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ see you at the WWW2004 in NY 15-21 May?
