I've been arguing for a while that if you predicates in the directed graph
into a numerical ledger, you create a mathetmatical network [1].

I believe this will open out a whole new world of use cases and research,
as happened in mathematics in the transition from graph theory to network
theory.

The sanest way to do this is a simple data structure that has a source
node, a destination node, an amount and possibly a unit.

I hope that at some point this becomes a natural extension to the semantic
web.
