[...] This statement, in isolation, is puzzling to me. Blank nodes are part of the RDF model. Any RDF toolkit should be able to handle and exchange them without problem. I recognize that they sometimes create complications in inference environments, but I think that is a separate issue (not an exchange and interop problem). And in specific local environments, it's fairly easy to generate unique URIs (like Skolemization) without affecting the semantics of what is described. #g --
