Yes, but suppose there is then also

    </items/45158567#id> :x :y

and even

     :y :z :q.
     q: :r :s.

Are these part of the data?
And if they are (not), how can I express that?

This example shows that it is hard to put a border around a member.

Not just datasets; mainly hypermedia responses, really (which may contain parts of datasets).

I wouldn't say that–many ships are leaking, and people are looking around ;-)

Yeah; but the problem remains that, strictly speaking
    <g> rdfg:subGraphOf <>.
and
    <a> <b> <c> <g>.
are talking about different <g>s, according to the RDF 1.1 spec.
So we're still looking for a mechanism to say:
when I name a graph <g>, and use it in subject/object position,
I really mean the same thing.

Best,

Ruben
