[RDF] Model vs. Session/Context

Hi all!

I just realized (maybe yesterdays news) that the koncept of
Session/Context maps neatly onto the koncept of 'model space', that is:
In WRAF you (if I'm not mistaken...) activate different interfaces and
models, and construct a super-model consisting of all the models
relevant to the application?

(Should there be a base model consisting of a list of all the available
interfaces?)

Now, this could work as a context delimiter - you only activate those
models that are relevant to the current CONTEXT. Context/Session then
could work as a list of the models relevant to the context.

After thinking of this, I realized this: What happens if a class
definition references objects in a model not activated? Or vice versa -
if an objects class definition resides in a non-activated model? But of
course, this is a known problem in RDF - what to do if an Schema
Resource is non-existential...

Cheers,
