Right, I was talking about "XML data model" -- element and attribute
names have to be named, and then the content nodes could be considered
"values". For RDF data model, I just said that properties (predicates)
need to be named. It seems when people model data in XML, that is the
very thing that often gets overlooked (giving names to properties);
especially in containment hierarchies.
