The approach is good, although I'd present a different split, which is probably difficult to do via a machine. The predicates IsConvergencePoint IsConnected PointsTo ExpandsTo Associated are on in the 'lines and curves and areas' domain of operation (which the graphic artist works in). the reader of the document does a mental translation of those into things like 'face' 'house' 'process box' etc which are in a slightly different domain. Machine translation from one to the other is (probably) not automatable today. The approach is nice though, adding the rdf to an existing diagram without screwing around with it. I didn't believe it realistic to insist on authors drawing up documents to guidelines, hence followed the same approach, adding data to the drawing for later extraction for alternative presentation. regards DaveP - NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
