Peter, In http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0149.html you note, > The RDF Schema document says > > RDF's vocabulary description language, RDF Schema, is an extension > of RDF. It provides mechanisms for describing groups of related > resources and the relationships between these resources. RDF Schema > vocabulary descriptions are written in RDF. The extra descriptive > power of RDF Schema is carried in a collection of RDF resources > described in this document. > However, this is very unclear as to just what RDF Schema is. Is RDF Schema > just a collection of RDF resources, like the representation of DC in RDFS? > This is, of course, incorrect, as RDF Schema is a semantic extension of > RDF, as detailed in RDF Semantics. However, this is nowhere indicated in > the RDF Schema document. Would the following revision to the paragraph quoted address your concern: "RDF's vocabulary description language, RDF Schema, is a semantic extension([SX]) of RDF. It provides mechanisms for describing groups of related resources and the relationships between these resources. RDF Schema vocabulary descriptions are written in RDF using the terms described in this document." ref [SX] RDF Semantics http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#intro If not, could you suggest alternate text. thanks, Dan
