I would assume that two separate country elements would produce two separate blank nodes of type country: (blank_node1) - (blank_predicate1) --> "Canada" (blank_node1) - type --> country (blank_node2) - (blank_predicate1) --> "France" (blank_node2) - type --> country > - 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. Isn't that the original basis for this discussion: the notion that the XML hierarchy infers some sort of relation, but you can't know what it is without additional documentation.
