I am saying that rdf:about is the serialization syntax for expressing the subject of the statements in the description block (or description bag, if you prefer). I am certainly not arguing that we do away with it. After all, if we didn't have rdf:about, we would need some other way to specify the subject of statements. And how could anything I said be remotely construed as claiming that all RDF nodes should be blank? -- Uche Ogbuji Principal Consultant uche.ogbuji@fourthought.com +1 720 320 2046 Fourthought, Inc. http://Fourthought.com 4735 East Walnut St, Boulder, CO 80301-2537, USA XML strategy, XML tools (http://4Suite.org), knowledge management Track chair, XML/Web Services One (San Jose, Boston): http://www.xmlconference.com/ Latest article: Managing structured Web service metadata - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-wsdlrdf/ Next presentation: XML, The Model Driven Architecture, and RDF @ XML Europe - http://www.xmleurope.com/2002/kttrack.asp#themodel
