Hi Ben,
Now, what happens if we say: <a about="s" rel="p" href="o" instanceof="t"> foo </a> I think the same thing should happen, meaning instanceof applies to the @href when it's present.
I agree. It seems that in general, @instanceof takes as its subject the 'current' object, and if there isn't one, one is created (as a bnode). This means that: <div instanceof="foaf:Person"> ... </div> doesn't make a statement about the document, but about a bnode on the <div>. This neatly gives you what you and others on the list wanted before, the ability to create typed bnodes without having to do lots of mark-up. Working 'upwards', it also means that mark-up like this falls out quite nicely: <div rel="foaf:knows" instanceof="foaf:Person"> ... </div> to mean that there is a relationship of 'foaf:knows' between the nearest ancestor subject, and the bnode, which is itself of type 'foaf:Person'. ...all of which I think we've said before...I'm writing it down as much for my own benefit as anyone else's. :) Regards, Mark -- Mark Birbeck, formsPlayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +44 (0) 20 7689 9232 http://www.formsPlayer.com | http://internet-apps.blogspot.com standards. innovation.
