Or maybe embed an anonymous class within the rdfs:range. This would
avoid explicitly defining the constraint class.

<rdf:Property rdf:about="category">
<rdfs:range>
<owl:Class>
<owl:unionOf rdf:parseType="Collection">
<owl:Class rdf:about="#AuthorityReference" />
<owl:Class rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Literal" />
</owl:unionOf>
</owl:Class>
</rdfs:range>
</rdf:Property>

An example using rdfs:domain is in the Language Ref.
