CONT

A functional term consists of a function constant and an arbitrary number of argument terms, terminated by an optional sequence variable. Note that there is no syntactic restriction on the number of argument terms-the same function constant can be applied to different numbers of arguments; arity restrictions in KIF are treated semantically.

Il n'y a aucune restriction syntaxique dans le choix des noms de variables globales ou locales; il est donc possible de définir (par inadvertance, le plus souvent) une variable locale et une variable globale ayant le même nom.

The RDF data model intrinsically only supports binary relations; that is, a statement specifies a relation between two resources. In the following examples we show the recommended way to represent higher arity relations in RDF using just binary relations. The recommended technique is to use an intermediate resource with additional properties of this resource giving the remaining relations.
