Hmm, the following XML serialization and triple model are equivalent (or better: the following XML is a serialization of the given triple model): XML: <rdf:Description about="uri"> <dc:creator>Karl</dc:creator> </rdf:Description> Triple model: (subject,predicate,object) (genid1,rdf:type,rdf:Bag) (genid2,rdf:type,rdf:Statement) (genid2,rdf:subject,uri) (genid2,rdf:predicate,dc:creator) (genid2,rdf:object,'Karl') (genid1,rdf:_1,genid2) (uri,dc:creator,'Karl') If this is true, most of the example graphs in the Spec are false or at least incomplete? Another problem: How does the XML serialization of the follwing triple model look like? (uir,dc:creator,'Karl') Or is this not a correct model? Well, I'm getting more and more confused about the different ways of representing RDF ... Stefan
