Ah yes, forgot to mention that.  You will note a triple in the main  
document aggregation:

		<orechem:referencesExperiment>
			<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://examples.net/Experiments/E1">
				<rdf:type>
					<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://orechem.org/ontologies/document/experiment 
"/>
				</rdf:type>
			</rdf:Description>
		</orechem:referencesExperiment>

This is intended to link to instances expressed in the experiment  
ontology put up by Mark.
