RDF systems can process PRISM, and not care about ordering, and things will work just fine - although information will be lost which is unfortunate but not the end of the world. I assume that PRISM will be using RDF tools, so some RDF tools authors might be encouraged to provide support for profiles of RDF that have different requirements - PRISM and DAML are examples. Dave
