Guys,

Looks really good! Nice work.

I have a couple of suggested changes and things to keep in mind for discussions with the TC (based on discussions with Svante today).

First, this:

In this scenario the document editor associates part of the document with metadata.

I really, really think we need to avoid using vague statements like "metadata" when we can instead use more specific terms like "resource description" or "resource property." The reason is because I think people will get confused.

Also, this example has a bunch of problems:

<med:patient rdf:about="http://ex-hospital-DB/patients/ID98765"> <ex:hasID rdf:resource="ID98765"/> <ex:hasVitals> <med:vitalData rdf:about="http://hospital-DB/medical-note-cc1593"> <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://docs.oasis-open.org/opendocument/meta/ package#Element"/> </rdf:Description> </ex:hasVitals> </med:patient>

First, note that this is not well-formed XML.

Second, resources should be capitalized.

Third, as I mentioned before, I think this nested RDF/XML obscures what's going on with the graph, and should be:

<med:Patient rdf:about="http://ex-hospital-DB/patients/ID98765"> <ex:hasID rdf:resource="ID98765"/> <ex:hasVitals rdf:resource="http://hospital-DB/medical-note-cc1593"/> </med:Patient>

<med:VitalData rdf:about="http://hospital-DB/medical-note-cc1593"> <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://docs.oasis-open.org/opendocument/meta/ package#Element"/> </med:VitalData>

Finally, surely the rdf:type statement there is wrong, or at least unnecessary?
