Regarding the new docs, to address a FAQ I see, please
normatively state:
1) The following are equivalent:
<rdf:Property rdf:about="xxx"/>
and:
<rdf:Description rdf:about="xxx">
<rdf:type rdf:resource="&ns-rdf;Property"/>
</rdf:Description>
2) The following are equivalent:
<rdfs:Class rdf:about="xxx"/>
and:
<rdf:Description rdf:about="xxx">
<rdf:type rdf:resource="&ns-rdfs:Class"/>
</rdf:Description>
The Syntax doc kind'a skirts around this informatively [1] but
it seems to be limited to RDF (and not include RDFS/RDFV).
Perhaps a generic, normative rule like the following would
also be useful:
<NS:XXX rdf:about="#NNN"/>
expands/equates to
<rdf:Description rdf:about="#NNN">
<rdf:type rdf:resource="&NS;XXX"/>
</rdf:Description>
where of course '&NS;' expands to the full namespace URI
bound to the prefix 'NS:'.
Regards,
Art Barstow
