Hi Pierre-Antoine, > Furthermore, why should the following be so strongly related > - a Class or Property URI (that is, its *name*) > - the URI of the schema defining/describing that Class or Property Perhaps I have misunderstood the relationship between the URI of a property and its namespace.

I didn't follow that bit.

That's what I'd like to see happen. I am concerned about whether the annotations can ever be harmful. If an application can clearly distinguish between the original model and the annotions then, aside from implementation convenience, there should be no problem. I'd be more concerned if one couldn't distinguish them. Brian
