Actually both suggestions are already mentioned in the ROR spec [1]: 1) All ROR objects are rdf resources. The "type" element is a shortcut for "rdf:type" : <.type>ClassName<./type> is equivalent to: <.rdf:type rdf:resource="http://rorweb.com/0.1/ClassName" /> This is done deliberatly to make ROR more accessible to non-RDF users/programs. 2) The "link" element can be used to document the location of a ROR file (on-site or off-site).
