The moment you introduce anonymous references (blank nodes) you've introduced an RDFism. Net effect, inheritance kicks in and we are back to square one re. inability to deliver a simple JSON based mechanism, with high uptake potential re., Linked Data graphs. In the early days of Linked Data we agreed to discourage blank nodes for the very reasons outlined above. Basically, there was a concerted effort to focus on uptake and bootstrap. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen President& CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca: kidehen
