Description:

by Toby Inkster:

"""
The following language in a future spec would make marking up lists  
in RDFa much easier:

===
RDFa 1.1 processors MUST handle the property rdfs:member specially.  
If the subject of a triple with predicate rdfs:member is known to be  
an rdf:List, then the processor MUST add appropriate rdf:first,  
rdf:rest, and rdf:nil triples to assemble the list. If the subject of  
a triple with predicate rdfs:member is known to be a rdf:Bag, rdf:Alt  
or rdf:Seq, then the processor MUST add appropriate rdf:_1, rdf:_2,  
etc triples.

"Known to be" = RDFa processors MUST recognise the explicit container  
types rdf:List, rdf:Bag, rdf:Alt and rdf:Seq. RDFa processors MAY  
implement RDFS, OWL or other reasoning to determine that other  
resources may be containers.
