RDF Collections

RDF collections are used to describe groups that contains ONLY the specified members.

The rdf:parseType="Collection" Attribute

As seen in the previous chapter: You cannot close a container. A container says that the containing resources are members - it does not say that other members are not allowed.

RDF collections are used to describe group that contains ONLY the specified members.

A collection is described by the attribute rdf:parseType="Collection".
