I think it is a good proposal.

One question:

Is the _1, _2 etc obligatory, or can this be any URI?
I presume any URI will do, since the "next" already cares about the
ordering.

Two comments:

1. I prefer to use a verb for the nmlrel:isSerialCompoundLink, thus
nmlrel:isSerialCompoundLinkSequence or nmlrel:isSerialCompoundLink

2. The exact namespace (prefix) is still an open question: artf6535.



PS: My usual approach to test if I like a proposal is to toy with some
variants. Except for adding the verb to
nmlrel:serialCompoundLinkSequence, Jeroen's proposal is better, so I
support it.


FYI I briefly toyed with these 3 variants:

1. nmlrel:serialCompoundLinkSequence ->
nmlrel:isSerialCompoundLinkSequence or nmlrel:isSerialCompoundLink

2. Add explicit "last" relation

3. Use nml:alias instead of nmlrel:serialCompoundLink.
