People in the second group use the reification syntax, but have some extra meaning for it that is not shared by all interested in RDF. It is the contention of the first group that the use of these extra meanings make RDF no longer be a true representation language, and thus ill suited for representing information in the WWW. Reply: Yes, that is pretty clear from the discussion. Also clear is that it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Is there a document somewhere that explains the limitations (clearly) of RDF according to the first group? In other words, could I start using RDF, limit myself to the sorts of uses that the first group approves of, and avoid controversy while the second group makes its case? I'm just trying to pull something out of this that I can use right now while people who know a lot more than I do put together a "version 2" to solve these other problems. Any help appreciated...
