Sure thing.

Me neither :-)

That's why Florian's suggestion to focus on the model, BTW, was quite  
useful. If we can agree what we are trying to say, then it's easier  
to weigh different encoding options. When we work the other way  
around, it leaves more room for confusion.

As I was using about in my example, I was assuming the content of the  
node was just a label. It did not per se generate any triple, and so  
technically is not metadata.

But it would be a way to associate content with the metadata and  
address your expressed interest in using the same URI on multiple  
nodes, while having a single metadata description in the package.

But to go back to the above, what are you trying to model here? What  
are the triples?

In my example, if we assume this in the package:

<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://ex.net/foo";>
   <rdf:value>foo</rdf:value>
</rdf:Description>

... then by way of the about attribute, we can say of that span:

	<http://ex.net/foo> rdf:value "foo" .

A quite simple statement, but nevertheless.
