(Typed a little too fast while someone was speaking to me) > which is not inconsistent :) Ok. But it is very clearly not what the original author of the xml intended. Since - if the blank_predicates for both statements are the same then you would be saying that there is a country that is related in the same way to the string "Canada" and "France". - And if the blank_predicates for both statements are different then you would be saying that there is a country that is related in some unknown way to the strings "France" and in some other unknown way to the string "Canada". Which would not be saying very much, since for any two things there is some relation that relates them. >> [1] also available at >> https://bloged.dev.java.net/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=441 > > Yes I have seen it and it's why I thought about the silly thing above > ;) Josh Sled also pointed out a couple of very interesting links on the topic: <http://www-db.stanford.edu/~melnik/rdf/syntax.html> <http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Syntax> > -- > Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ > W3C Conformance Manager > *** Be Strict To Be Cool *** >
