It is quite obvious as there is no specification about what to put there - ie no consensus was reached on the key part of what should have been reached. I don’t know why you believe that bNode URLS can’t / shouldn’t be dereferenced. If they point back to a service, the service can return the CBD, or any domain specific representation that makes sense. That’s the whole point. - Steve
