I think you could actually do it this way - A predicate is by definition a resource, and you could create an instance of a property class as another resource and use that for your predicate. Why not? Then that edge would have its own URI, and you could make statements about it. Of course, if you did that for each triple you could end up with an awful lot of resource URIs, but then you probably won't need to do it for most. > Is there any good reason within RDF MT why the edge shouldn't have it's own > (instance) URI? > I have assumed that it is because the MT is supposed to match the M&S so far as possible, and the M&S doesn't support it explicitly. Anyone who actually knows want to amplify this? Cheers, Tom P
