Because there is a common use that goes like this: <http://tu-chemnitz.de/sven#i> { <http://tu-chemnitz.de/sven#i> foaf:name "Sven Kunze"; foaf:mbox_sha1sim "abcdef"; ... other facts about sven ... <http://loc.gov/id/book> dc:author <http://tu-chemnitz.de/sven#i>. } this is the partitioning use and the graph label is often whatever is arbitrarily considered to be the primary subject of the statements in the graph. Since people are presumably a disjoint set from graphs, that URI cannot sensibly denote both. This use is reasonable, and quite useful since it makes it easy, for example, to build a web page out of all the relevant information expressed in triples about a particular entity, just by pulling that particular graph. But it is incompatible with also using the graph labels to refer. -wReceived on Wednesday, 5 June 2013 13:13:44 UTC
