Re: Attention Users! (2 in a series)

Aaron,

Thanks for your answers and
sorry for somewhat  cluttered questions :-)
I will try to be more specific.

Yes, this is clear now. Originally I wrongly understood that you
are suggesting to deprecate (suppress) one of them and that was unclear.

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.
