Perhaps it would be easier to forget the idea that the rddl:nature directly identifies the class of the related resource. Alternatively the class of the related resource could be discovered by looking at the RDDL document e.g. Somewhere in http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema it would indicate that "documents which conform to XML Schema validate according to ..." I could change rddl2rdf.xsl to replace "rdf:type" with "rddl:nature" making RDDL nature a regular 'ole property of the related resource. I am going to compose a note to www-tag discussing this issue. Based upon feedback so far (you, Elliotte) I am thinking that perhaps we ought keep RDDL natures the way they have been. Jonathan
