I just found another example that strongly relies on graph IRIs pointing to the same instance as that IRI in subject/object position: nanopublications. For example: http://nanopub.org/wordpress/?page_id=57 Does anybody know of other examples? I'm thinking of collecting supporting cases for the RDF mailing list. Posting this on public-hydra because the data/metadata separation has important use cases within our domain. Best, Ruben
