* Jan Algermissen | | IOW, what is the difference of having several authors vs. having an | rdf:bag of authors? I asked about this myself ages ago, and was then pointed to <URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-rdf-syntax-19990222/#containers > You need to go all the way down to section 3.5. I think figure 7 shows what it means quite clearly: there is *one* resource that the statement applies to, and that resource has parts, and possibly also other characteristics. I guess in TM terms you could think of it as introducing a "blank subject" to represent a whole with parts so that you can talk about it as distinct from its parts. In the example given creating a node for the committee would seem reasonable, though there may be situations where this won't work and you're left with the bag approach. -- Lars Marius Garshol, Ontopian <URL: http://www.ontopia.net > GSM: +47 98 21 55 50 <URL: http://www.garshol.priv.no >
