This graph illustrates the first part of the full expansion of the graphs shown in Figure 4.

The graph contains nine nodes and nine arcs. The base property is represented as an arc labeled DC:Creator from the node identified as http://www.bar.com/some.doc to the node containing the string value "John Smith".

A node identified as Statement_001 is the source of four arcs. The first arc is labeled RDF:InstanceOf and points to the node identified as RDF:Bag. The second arc is labeled DS:CreatedOn and points to the node containing the string "1998-02-06T14:00Z". The third arc is labeled DS:CreatedBy and points to the node containing the string "Jane Cooper". These four nodes and three arcs respectively state that the node Statement_001 is a collection and was created on the specified date by the specified person.

The fourth arc from Statement_001 is labeled RDF:1 and points to an unnamed node. This unnamed node is also the source of four arcs. The first arc is labeled RDF:InstanceOf and points to the node identified as RDF:Property. The second arc is labeled RDF:PropName and points to the node identified as DC:Creator. The third arc is labeled RDF:PropObj and points to the original some.doc node. The fourth and final arc is labeled RDF:Value and points to the original node containing the string value "John Smith". This unnamed node corresponds to the reification of the original DC:Creator property.
