One of the things missing above, are statements, defining the relationship between dataset1 and (compound,feature,value) triples. It's a little bit counter intuitive to think in terms of statements (triples), and not objects that can include other objects, but this is exactly what gives RDF its flexibility. A guide (Defining N-ary Relations on the Semantic Web) how the above is modeled by triples is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/NOTE-swbp-n-aryRelations-20060412/ . Following the guide and modeling Features as resources will lead to a model very close to the proposed. BTW, below is an excerpt of how ChemAxiom describe properties of the compounds (note the intermediate classes): :benzene a ChemDomain:NamedChemicalSpecies ; ChemAxiomProp:hasProperty :Density_1 , :BoilingPoint_1 ; :BoilingPoint_1 a ChemAxiomProp:BoilingPoint ; ChemAxiomProp:hasValue "80.1"^^xsd:string ; :measuredBy Metrology:Ebulliometry . :Density_1 a ChemAxiomProp:Density ; ChemAxiomProp:hasValue "0.8786"^^xsd:string . :benzeneMolecule a ChemDomain:MolecularEntity ; ChemDomain:hasIdentifier :MolecularFormula_1 , :CASNumber_1 . :CASNumber_1 a ChemDomain:CASNumber ; ChemDomain:hasValue "71-43-2"^^xsd:string . :MolecularFormula_1 a ChemDomain:MolecularFormula ; ChemDomain:hasValue "C6H6"^^xsd:string . SCOVO is another example, they have Datasets and Items inside datasets http://sw.joanneum.at/scovo/schema.html. Best regards, Nina
