Reto Bachmann-Gmür commented on CLEREZZA-158:
---------------------------------------------

The example in 2.5 of http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/ shows the use of ( ) for an 
empty list (aka rdf:nil).

The following graph describing a one element rdf collection

_:a rdf:fist <http://clerezza.org/2009/07/script#ScriptGeneratedResource>.
_:a rdf:rest rdf:nil. 
:subject :predicate _:a

can be written as
:subject :predicate 
(<http://clerezza.org/2009/07/script#ScriptGeneratedResource>)

If the collection itself has not a bnode at its start, e.g.

:namedList rdf:fist :elem1.
:namedList rdf:rest _:b
_:b rdf:first :elem2.
_:b rdf:rest rdf:nil. 

the abbreviated syntax can only be used to abbreviate the part of the list 
after its start, i.e:

:namedList rdf:fist :elem1.
:namedList rdf:rest (:elem2).

For a one element rdf collection (as in your original example in rdf/xml) the 
abbreviate collection syntax can only be used to replace rdf:nil with (), so 
Instead of writing

<http://tpf.localhost/typePriorityList>
      rdf:first <http://clerezza.org/2009/07/script#ScriptGeneratedResource> ;
      rdf:rest rdf:nil.

you can write:

<http://tpf.localhost/typePriorityList>
      rdf:first <http://clerezza.org/2009/07/script#ScriptGeneratedResource> ;
      rdf:rest () .

which in owl is equivalent to

<http://tpf.localhost/typePriorityList> owl:sameAs 
(<http://clerezza.org/2009/07/script#ScriptGeneratedResource>).
