I'm curious about the semantics of RDF in the following example taken
from rdfx.org (in comparison to the W3C RDF Primer documentation):
For example, rdfx.org has written their RDFX schema as:
<!--Begin Property -->
<rdf:Property
rdf:about="http://rdfx.org/schema/2004/04/15-rdfx-schema#defines"
vs:term_status="testing"
rdfs:label="Defines"
rdfs:comment="A 'Defines' relationship indicates that the object
resource is to some extent defined by the subject.">
<rdfs:domain
rdf:resource="http://rdfx.org/schema/2004/04/15-rdfx-schema#DataSource"></rdfs:domain>
<rdfs:range
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Resource"></rdfs:range>
<rdfs:isDefinedBy
rdf:resource="http://rdfx.org/schema/2004/04/15-rdfx-schema#"></rdfs:isDefinedBy>
<owl:inverseOf
rdf:resource="http://rdfx.org/schema/2004/04/15-rdfx-schema#definedby"/>
</rdf:Property>
<!--End Property -->
Can (or Shouldn't) the schema be written as:
<!--Begin Property -->
<rdf:Property
rdf:about="http://rdfx.org/schema/2004/04/15-rdfx-schema#defines">
<vs:term_status>testing</vs:term_status>
<rdfs:label>Defines</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>A 'Defines' relationship indicates that the object
resource is to some extent defined by the subject.</rdfs:comment>
......
</rdf:Property>
<!--End Property -->
Why are 'rdfs:label', 'rdfs:comment' etc listed in the rdf:Property
statement? Is there a reason to write RDF this way?
