Tara Athan commented on LEGALRULEML-18:
---------------------------------------

Revision: It has been determined, through Issue #20, that certain edges should occur only in leaf from. This includes the "applies" edges, and similar edges, where the object of the relationship can be declared in a collection, and thus referenced through keyref, rather than being defined "in place" e.g. in a context. Therefore, the only edges that now fall within the scope of Issue #18 are the "has" edges, e.g. "hasLegalSources", ..., as these are the only remaining skippable edges in the lrml namespace.

> In the compact serialization there are multiple ways to represent certain cases of empty Nodes - as the Node, with no edge stripe, and as the edge in leaf form (no children). For those cases where there is a unique type of child Node for this edge, the leaf edge is redundant. That is, in all cases it could be converted to the stripe-skipped Node form without loss of information. For parsimony, it would be better to have only one respresentation.
