RDF collection
An RDF collection is used to describe a group that contains only specified members.
rdf:parseType="Collection" attribute
As seen in the previous chapter, we cannot close a container. The container specifies the contained resources as members - it does not specify that other members are not allowed.
RDF collection is used to describe a group containing only specified members.
Collections are described through the attribute rdf:parseType="Collection".
