Originally I wrongly understood that you are suggesting to deprecate (suppress) one of them and that was unclear. <--Uche said: |> I agree with this, except that perhaps rdf:ID should simply be suppressed.

Wow! this is very intuitive indeed. Why did not I guess it? :-)) There is still one more thing for which I would very much appreciate some help: Can you suggest a triple (or N3) representation for this fragment: <daml:Class rdf:ID="Car"/> <daml:Class rdf:ID="Person"/> <daml:Disjoint rdf:parseType="daml:collection"> <daml:Class rdf:about="#Car"/> <daml:Class rdf:about="#Person"/> </daml:Disjoint> Thanks, --Nikita.
