[oslc-core] Example of a self-subject query capability representation?

I need a little help understanding the most recent changes in the
Query Capabilities section of the spec. We now have two types of query
capabilities, multi-subject and self-subject but we only illustrate
multi-subject queries in our examples. I'm trying to understand what a
self-subject query response would look like. Here's how it is
described in the Core spec:

"The RDF/XML representation of the query result begins with a node
element whose rdf:about attribute value is equal to the base URI.
Typically, the base URI is a container resource that may have a long
list of members, e.g. the list of all defects in a bug tracking
system. Since the list may contains hundreds of thousands of members,
queries are used to filter the list for members that satisfy certain
conditions, e.g. the bugs that have high priority and were created
this week."

I don't know what "the base URI is a container resource that may have
a long list of members" means. Are we using a multi-valued property
here to hold the resources that match the query? Tack or Arthur, would
one of you please provide a simple example of a self-subject query
response?

Thanks,
- Dave
