So the answer is yes. I have also found in my own use of RDF that it is sometimes important to have a collection construct that is "closed"; i.e. to which no new elements can be added through RDF graph merging. Not having this would make it impossible (I think) to express certain things without violating the basic RDF semantics. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org>
