It seems that the RDF WG is grappling with various syntactic understandings of RDF reification. But this phrase I have learned from wise men keeps rolling around my head: "It's all about the graph, stupid.". So I thought I would take a stab (not my first) at representing RDF reification within the graphical notation of mentography. I would like to submit the following mentograph for your comments: http://robustai.net/mentography/reificationContext.gif Notice that in mentography we use circles containing labeled directed arcs exactly like Venn diagrams represent members of a set. What is interesting is that converting from representing context as the quad (stid, subject, predicate, object) to using the quad (context,subject,predicate, object) as is done in N3 does not in fact change the shorthand notation in the graph:) See a previous attempt using the former quad: http://robustai.net/mentography/MentographySemenglish.gif Seth Russell
