+The following table shows how some of the RDF resources map to their corresponding UML classes of the domain model.
+^ RDF      ^ UML       ^
+| :MonaLisa dct:creator :LeonardoDaVinci .  | Description  |
+| <ML-Desc>  dct:creator :BnF . | Annotation |
+| <ML-Desc>    | Description Set |
+| <ML-Anno>    | Annotation Set |
+Our example consists of two statements about the resource '':MonaLisa'', one about authorship of the resource, the other about its format. The graph ''<ML-Desc>'' containing these statements forms a Description Set. Annotations about this metadata are contained in a second graph, ''<ML-Anno>'', forming an Annotation Set.
+Statements that are part of this graph are considered annotations, i.e., statements about the provenance of the //metadata// of the original resource '':MonaLisa'', not the resource itself. The statement ''<ML-Desc> dct:creator :BnF .'' would mean that the Bibliothèque nationale de France created the description of the :MonaLisa (i.e., the metadata) contained in the graph ''<ML-Desc>'' as opposed to the creation of the :MonaLisa itself.
 ====== Issues and further Ideas ======
    * Superclass of Description Set necessary? Domain/range problems in OWL, could be circumvented by property/chain inclusion?
