Re: How do Schemas support RDF collections?

Hmm... I guess so.  I think I wanted rdf's collections to be a shorthand 
for a big collection of relationships.  Since the collection itself is 
such a virtual resource (I would say it has less status than a bNode) 
I'm losing my faith in its usefulness.

I think there has to be added semantics about collections so we can be 
smarter about them during processing.

An internal one.  We're developing an ontology for our internal data 
structures.  We have Groups of things, and I was trying to find an 
efficient way to describe that.  I think we have to have multiple 
identical properties defined for a single object (instead of using a 
Bag) for our ontologies to define everything we need.

Still learning. :)
