[XESAM] RDF vs .Desktop

Just realized that I KISSed examples too much and didn't notice a mistake.
Need to sleep more :( and stop talking to myself...
Anyway, resource has to have a prefix: or has to be included in <> brackets.
Also, I changed field naming to xesam:Audio.composer. This seems to be better
due to Jamie's wish to explicitly link DC and other external ontologies. I
don't object this either.
These two examples now look like this:
========= #1 ======================
=====================================
@prefix DC: <http://freedesktop.org/standards/DC#>
@prefix xesam: <http://freedesktop.org/standards/xesam#>
@prefix : <http://freedesktop.org/standards/xesam_base#>
xesam:Audio.Composer
a :field;
:of_type :string;
:has_parent DC:Creator;
:name "Composer"@EN;
:name "Композитор"@RU;
:description "Audio composer".
=====================================
========= #2 =======================
You can map rdf:Property to something other like file:Property
not sure which is better. Any ideas for the prefix since xesam: is now used?
I still strongly advise to use #2 an not #1.
=====================================
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>.
@prefix DC: <http://freedesktop.org/standards/DC#>
@prefix type: <http://freedesktop.org/standards/xesam_base#>
@prefix xesam: <http://freedesktop.org/standards/xesam#>
@prefix : <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
xesam:Audio.Composer
a rdf:Property;
:range type:string;
:subPropertyOf DC:Creator;
:label "Composer"@EN;
:label "Композитор"@RU;
:comment "Audio composer".
=====================================
Will re-check this when I wake up once more :)
Sorry for confusion.
