I agree that the creation of a Bag for each Description element isn't necessary in many situations (e.g for retrieval) since it represents only the XML structure of the RDF document. Nevertheless, it's important for me to understand the parsing process in detail. The M&S Spec is ambiguous, because the Bags containing the reified statements are missing in all examples. Either the examples are wrong (incomplete) or the cited paragraph of the last mail is wrong (or I oversee something ;-) Regards, Stefan
