By mapping entities one can map abstract "classes" and not only properties of classes.
For specimens for example instead of only mapping the catalog number and a taxon name, one wold also map the entity/idea of an specimen:
Simple mapping:
<verbatim>
<Specimen>
<CatalogNumber> - abcd:/DataSets/.../Unit/UnitId
<Name> - abcd:/DataSets/.../Unit/Identifications/.../FullScientificNameString
</verbatim>
Entity mapping:
<verbatim>
<Specimen> - abcd:/DataSets/.../Unit
<CatalogNumber> - abcd:/DataSets/.../Unit/UnitId
<Name> - abcd:/DataSets/.../Unit/Identifications/.../FullScientificNameString
</verbatim>
This would help the wrapper software to decide which RepNode corresponds to which conceptual schema entity.
Thus it would probably solve the EmptyRepeatableRegionProblem
