This doesn't really capture what you want, partly because the transfome 
is not in fact a property of r1:rate, and partly because you would want 
  to operate at the type rather than the instance level.

In my vew, a transform would be a Class that had input, output, and 
equation/algorithm/etc properties.

Also, the fact that the identifier for the transform happens to be the 
url of a real xslt document doesn't imply (in RDF) that the "meaning" 
has anything to do with that document.  Better to specify that location 
explicitly.
