Oh, that surprises me. Does this mean that the name of the subject is not opaque, as with URIs [1]? How do I know the relationship between France#Density:2012_pop_estimate_Bilan_2010 and Germany#Density:2009_pop_estimate_CIA_2010?
Sorry, again my own ignorance about topic maps shows. I am much better with RDF and the rest of the W3C semantic web standards. When I said "property" I meant something similar to rdf:property, which is part of the RDF reification vocabulary [2]. But in this case I properly have to concede that I simply do not understand how topic maps work. I thought you were giving triples (they sure looked like triples) but then the semantics of the statement is suddenly encoded in the subject identifier, and this just confuses me.
