Establishing a sense of order in a graph-based resource description scheme
would require explicitly implementing succession relationships. The
simplest 
relationships would be recorded like this:

    Destination_ID succeeds Source_ID

which from a graph-theoretical perspective is **not** the same as adding
this to a graph¹s vertex/link list:

    Destination_ID is_preceeded_by Source_ID

    See: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/DirectedGraph.html for more
information

If the relationship is not recorded in the graph¹s vertex/link list, it
does not exist in the graph.

W3C doctrine seeks to ³economize² on graph construction operations by
suggesting that 
complementary links - e.g., for every ³succeeds" link there should be an
"is_preceded_by link² could be optional. See the above sentence.

While convenient at one level, this strategy masks the ³full² costs of
graph representation by declaring that a complementary link shall be
materialized as required by an inference computation. This graph data -
inference rules plus inference engine dependency (to create he virtual
vertex/link list) forecloses the application of well-established graph
operations that operate on graph data alone, e.g.:

     http://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/ComputationOnGraphs.html
     NeighborhoodGraph is especially handy

Other ways to implement order in RDA could involve schemes that likewise
require inferential processing, e.g., alphabetical, numerical, date, etc.
orders.
