However, one thing the RDF does not do: it does not tell you the boundary of what is included in a document. If a FHIR resource is represented in RDF, there is nothing explicit in it to indicate that the document contains all and only the RDF triples for that FHIR resource. This is a little different from the XML and JSON worlds, in which there is an explicit top element, with everything else nested inside. But aside from that caveat, one should be able to look at the RDF triples to see that it contains a fhir:AllergyInterance resource, for example.

Actually, I'm noticing that our current example is lacking the explicit mention of fhir:AllergyIntolerance, so I've raise an issue about that:

    In what way can a piece of Turtle be a resource?


it represents a statement of the content of a fhir resource

btw, I am presently using 'text/turtle; x-dialect=fhir', but I have no
particular feeling for this

    With RDF, you retrieve it and make rules that apply to the
    vocabularies used in it (properties, types etc).

    Do you (or
