> ·         Uuid1, subject, FredUuid
>
> ·         Uuid, predicate, Employer
>
> ·         Uuid, object, IBM
>
> §  Add uncertainty statement
>
> ·         Uuid2, type RdfTriple
>
> ·         Uuid2, subject, Uuid1 (above statement’s uuid)

> ·         Uuid2, predicate, Uncertainty

> §  Add temporal statements

> o   Uuid3, type, RdfTriple

> o   Uuid3, subject, Uuid1 (Fred, Employer, IBM)

> o   Uuid3, predicate, BeginTime
