Thanks! /Roger I assume by "River class as an individual" you mean as something other than as an instance of rdfs:Class (which is what the above definition says). If that's the case, then how about (assuming appropriate namespace declarations): <rdf:Description rdf:about="#River"> <dc:creator>Roger Costello</dc:creator> </rdfs:Description> Or if you're looking for something more complicated, can you describe the sort of complication you're interested in? --Frank -- Frank Manola The MITRE Corporation 202 Burlington Road, MS A345 Bedford, MA 01730-1420 mailto:fmanola@mitre.org voice: 781-271-8147 FAX: 781-271-8752
