Yes, I realize that you were asking Richard, but I'm a bit forward, as we know. I do NOT see a description as atomic in the sense that a record is atomic. A record has rigid walls, a description has permeable ones. A description always has the POTENTIAL to have a bit of unexpected data added; a record cuts off that possibility. That said, I am curious about the permeability of the edges of a named graph. I don't know their degree of rigidity in terms of properties allowed. kc > > Simon > -- Karen Coyle [log in to unmask] http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
