Pat,

Q1/ Are you making this case for just TriG or for all quads forms?

Q2/ Can the semantics be specified in a different document?

We have things like the DBpedia dumps already online:

http://dbpedia.org/Downloads37


To have TriG, the basic syntax, not being able to express basic dumps in 
the way N-Quads can is possible but its going to place an education cost 
on explaining that N-Quads -> TriG can't be done without additional

I would like to see vocabulary on top of the basic syntax, not requiring 
it's use.  Like the time example we had in the telecon, sometimes, there 
will be data without the full modelling details.
