Wow, there are probably a million ways, but B-Nodes comes to mind:
ilove:NewYork a ontology:City;
ontology:Distance [
ilove:Miami 1000;
ilove:LA 4000
].
... and then the links of the referring cities can be links to more
information for that city, and New york (as a distance) should show that it
links to those cities...
Anyway... I'm no expert, and there's probably a million ways to do this. Try
looking at an RSS 1.0 / RDF newsfeed, as stories appear as collections (try
converting the feed to N3 using Babel, Jena, etc... )...

What's the natural way to model "The distance between Chicago and New
York is 1000 miles" in RDF?
The only way I could come up with is ugly and really models "Chicago
is 1000 miles distant from New York" (same semantic meaning, but makes
Chicago seem more important, instead of indicating a symmetric relation).
My ugly model:
Chicago has_property DistanceRelation#1
DistanceRelation#1 has_target "New York"
DistanceRelation#1 has_distance "1000 miles"
In other words, Chicago has a property called "DistanceRelation#1",
and DistanceRelation#1 is an object that represents a distance of 1000
miles from New York. Of course,
Miami has_property DistanceRelation#1
might hold as well, so DistanceRelation#1 doesn't really seem to
encapsulate what I want.
Is there a cleaner way to do this in RDF?
(I realize Chicago/Miami aren't 1000 miles from New York-- this is
just an example).
