rdf:li

Definition

rdf:li is a syntaxTerm that indicates a list item. RDF/XML provides rdf:li as a convenience element to avoid having to explicitly number each membership property. The numbered properties rdf:_1, rdf:_2, and so on are generated from the rdf:li elements in forming the corresponding graph.

The element name rdf:li was chosen to be mnemonic with the term "list item" from HTML.

This example shows that RDF/XML provides rdf:li as a convenience element to avoid having to explicitly number each membership property. The numbered properties rdf:_1, rdf:_2, and so on are generated from the rdf:li elements in forming the corresponding graph:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">

<rdf:Seq rdf:about="http://example.org/favourite-fruit">

<rdf:_1 rdf:resource="http://example.org/banana"/>

<rdf:_2 rdf:resource="http://example.org/apple"/>

<rdf:_3 rdf:resource="http://example.org/pear"/>
