nil
type: NamedIndividual
type: List
comment: the empty list; this used to be called Empty.

imports
comment: for imports(X, Y) read: X imports Y; i.e. X asserts the* contents of Y by reference; i.e. if imports(X, Y) and you believe X and Y says something, then you should believe it. Note: "the contents" is, in the general case, an il-formed definite description. Different interactions with a resource may expose contents that vary with time, data format, preferred language, requestor credentials, etc. So for "the contents", read "any contents".

versionInfo
comment: generally, a string giving information about this version; e.g. RCS/CVS keywords
