Topics

  • Replacement of reification with named graphs

I personally find reification a real eyesore and hard to look at in RDF, but then again I am not suppose to but machines should do the job. So the question would be if they are performant or not. An obvious observation is that they let your data increase significantly in size. I like the higher order arity relations in LISP for formalizing contexts as first class objects in principle.

  • deprecation and removing of containers (Bag, Alt, Seq)
  • removing blank nodes
  • named graphs, graph literals in specification
