Well, we can see the map to be from the user agent's perspective: in any case, what the agent will get at one point in time is a single graph. Of course, a different agent, at the same time, can be served a different answer. So a server actually corresponds to possibly many different temporal graph maps, but what counts is that at the abstract level, the definition is the same and we can go on with defining the semantics independently of these implementation issues. > >> There exists a special temporal graph map, called the HTTPmap, such >> that at any given point in time t, HTTPmap(t) maps a URI to the parsed >> RDF graph of the document retrieved via an HTTP GET of the URI at the >> time t.
