Description


RDF defines several container elements. The rdf:Seq element groups together resources order of which is significant. The individual resources are either individually numbered with rdf:_1, rdf:_2, rdf:_3 ... , or generalized form rdf:li can be used. In our case the library have several copies of the book Matilda. For some reason, e.g. to keep one of the copies(M126) in the best possible state, it preffers to lend the first specified book (M124) as often as possible. Compare with Example 12 in which the order was insignificant ant rdf:Alt was used
