RDF Semantics does not allow you to capture this using > reification. Not naively, but if you "de-lable" the sentence, it does, making the act of naming occur explicitely: "I saw something fly. That something is called 'Superman'." and "I saw something fly. That something is called 'Clark Kent'." You do need a naming predicate like log:uri for this, expressing the notion of "is called". It's one way to get referential opacity in a referentially transparent logic like RDF. (I have no idea yet if it's the best approach here.) -- sandroReceived on Friday, 19 December 2003 16:49:02 GMT
