Hm, I don't think so (although I'm not sure ;-). Without 'aboutEach' the role of a description element is quite clear: a description element represents a (single) resource, which can act as a target and as a source for arcs in the RDF graph. When 'aboutEach' is specified, the resource represented by the description element is 'replaced' with the set of resources contained in the named container. Why shouldn't the role of the resource as target don't expand in the same manner? Greetings, Stefan
