Hi Folks,
How would this triple be expressed in XML:
{resource                       
    {type:length-measure}   
    {value:                      
        transform:           
            {
                type:length-in-inches
                number: 1           
            }
    }
}
I will take a stab at it.  Let me take a complete example.  Suppose that
I want to express this: The length of the Yangtze River is 6300
kilometers.  Here's how I think it would be expressed using the above
triple:
<River rdf:ID="Yangtze">
    <length>
        <LengthMeasure>
            <transform>
                <LengthInKilometers>
                    <value>6300</value>
                </LengthInKilometers>
            </transform>
        </LengthMeasure>
    </length>
</River>
Read this as: "The value of length is a resource of type LengthMeasure. 
LengthMeasure has a transform to LengthInKilometers.  The
LengthInKilometers is 6300."
Do you agree that this is a faithful XML expression of the above
triple?  If not, how would you express it?  /Roger
