One document parses to produce one RDF dataset and the blank node should
be the same where the same identifier is used.
N-Quads:
[[
A fresh RDF blank node is allocated for each unique blank node label in
a document.
]]
TriG:
[[
A blank node label represents the same blank node throughout the TriG
document.
]]
Blank nodes can be used as graph names - those are not "in" a graph at all.
One graph can be a subset of another.
