Re: [dotNetRDF-Develop] Writing <rdf:about> as RDF/XML format

In RDF this is a relation like any other. You state exactly what you
described, that a resource is of a given type. And you declare that
statement with a triple like any other fact about your resources.

You use the predicate rdf:type [1]. There is a handy class called
VDS.RDF.Parsing.RdfSpecsHelper, which contains the correct Uri of the
rdf namespace.
