Somewhat relevant to your question. I was wondering what is the best
practice for statements having the same subject and object, with
different predicates. I was thinking about defining a new property and
use the object as a subject, then fill a bag with the predicates as
objects. A simple example (my apologies but I am not confortable with
n3):
<rdf:Description about="http://foo.org/2001/foo1#">
<dc:creator resource="http://www.foo.org/people#Manos"/>
<mm:madeBy resource="http://www.foo.org/people#Manos"/>
<mm:supervisor resource="http://www.foo.org/people#Manos"/>
<!-- Many other similar property-value pairs here -->
<mm:techLead resource="http://www.foo.org/people#Manos"/>
</rdf:Description>
Could be:
<rdf:Description about="http://foo.org/2001/foo1#">
<new:objectAsSubject resource="http://www.foo.org/people#Manos">
<new:predicatesAsObjects>
<rdf:Bag>
<dc:creator/>
<mm:madeBy/>
<mm:supervisor/>
<!-- Many other similar property-value pairs here -->
<mm:techLead/>
</rdf:Bag>
</new:predicatesAsObjects>
</new:objectAsSubject>
</rdf:Description>
Is the above concept correct? How could it be improved? Maybe a better
use of rdf:object, rdf:subject and rdf:predicate? Is there a functional
equivalent to aboutEach for making statements for the above bag?
Kindest regards,
Manos
