Hello Jie,
In fact, you cannot do what you did in your second example. Because this
would
mean that you may have an 'rdfs:Property' property on a 'rdfs:Property'-
typed node.
'rdfs:Property' is a class whereas 'rdfs:subPropertyOf', 'rdfs:domain' and
'rdfs:range'
are properties. In RDF, the child element structure does have a particular
semantic.
You can be in either of this two cases:
- you are in an element that represents an instance
and so what you put in is the elements for its properties
- you are in an element that represents a property for an instance
and so what you put in is the element (or string) for its
instance value
So when you write:
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/..."
xmlns:myNS="http://www.example.com/MyVocabulary"
>
<rdf:Description rdf:ID="toto">
<myNS:myPropertyName>A value</myNS:myPropertyName>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
You just tell this triple:
(#toto, http://www.example.com/MyVocabulary#myPropertyName,
<http://www.example.com/MyVocabulary#myPropertyName> "A value")
which means in english, "#toto has 'A value' for myPropertyName".
