Create RDF with nested nodes in Apache Jena

A similiar question was asked already here How to get nested RDF/XML from Jena?.

I didn't find the answer helpful: As the author I want to map something like this:

<address>
   <street>...</street>
   <postcode>...</postcode>
   .
   .
   .
</adress>

The answer was given that in RDF you have to think about triples, but doesn't apply that here?

(Address, has street, ...)
(Address, has postcode, ...)
(Person, has address, ...)

Another reason why I am asking, I have used Jena Bean to generate RDF out of my Java Class Model and the result was also a nested structure. Now I want to do the same with Apache Jena and I can't get it figured out, no hint in the document, I tried it out, no idea so far.

Solution

Have you tried the official tutorial? It's shown how to do what you're asking about.

They're using a predefined dictionary for the VCard namespace, which comes with Jena jars but it's easy to define your own dictionary just after a glance at the predefined ones.

Here's the tutorial http://jena.apache.org/tutorials/rdf_api.html#ch-Introduction

You should also check out the RDF Validator: http://www.w3.org/RDF/Validator/ It allows you to validate your RDF (who would've guessed) and also to visualize it as a graph. It really helps you see and realize the mistakes you make while creating an ontology. It saved me lots of fruitless efforts and frustration.
