It checks an almost disjoint set | of things from what a DTD would check. If you don't care about things | being in a particular order and want to treat linking and containment as | the same thing, then you should use RDF schemas.

Maybe I just haven't woken up enough this morning yet, but I'm not quite sure what all of this means. So I'll restate the question: * I write an RDF document by hand. * I receive an RDF document from someone else. How do I know it makes sense? How do I know the right RDF tags have been used, and in a meaningful way? In otherwords, since an RDF document doesn't have a DTD (since it uses namespaces), how do I check it's right?
