This looks quite interesting, but it really depends on the context of the
RDF. What it looks like you're missing is a Method resource to hold the
input and output Bags together, so it should probably look like this (modulo
namespaces):

<rdf:RDF>

<my:Method>
  <my:methodInput> <!-- note that properties start with a lower-case
character -->
    <rdf:Bag>
        ...
    </rdf:Bag>
  </my:methodInput>

  <!-- repeat for output -->
</my:Method>

</rdf:RDF>

A useful tool for finding these kinds of flaws is the online SiRPAC parser:

Hope this helps,
