The distributed/multi-part approach (whether RDF-based or otherwise)
maybe addresses the data provider side of the requirement ("Phew, I
don't have to provide all that funny 'educational' stuff, someone else
will do it"), but it still leaves the service provider with the question
of how they can be sure that the sum of however many parts they gather
will provide the minimum data they are depending on to provide a service
("Argh, I've pulled in all those bits in fromm providers A, B, & C and
_none_ of them have told me about '5.6 Educational.Context'!")
