The specs only define what shapes of output graphs are considered conforming. I think the specs do this clearly and unambiguously. The specs do not mandate or constrain what the default mapping itself looks like, as long as it produces one of the specified output graphs. The rest is the job of the implementers. Adding a mechanism for generating a fresh blank node for every logical table row to R2RML was discussed, but it didn't make the cut for R2RML 1.0. Best, Richard
