I see what you mean now.

Here's the thing: we cannot worry about this.

Consider this example:

<span about="urn:uuid:2387832787283" property="ex:tag">foo</span>
<span about="urn:uuid:2387832787283" property="ex:tag">bar</span>

Are these "inconsistent"? Answer: only if we assume there can be only  
one ex:tag property for a resource.

So in essence, the answer is no, they aren't: they are two separate  
statements.

Triple is:

<urn:uuid:813471381547574057> dc:creator <http://ex.net/ 
people#patrick> .
