Re: Meaning of an RDF document: issue rdfms-assertion

So which predicates are semantically delgatory in nature? rdf:type, it
seems? Any others? If this is a real distinction, we might consider asking
WebOnt to create subclasses of rdf:Property for those that delegate to the
subject, or to the object, of a statement...

Not entirely convinced; this semantic atomism often feels like ascribing
meaning to the letters that make up the words in a sentence,
