Here I introduce the exact model theory for semantic embedded triple, as a simple extension of the RDF 1.1. model theoretical semantics. A RDF-star "sem" interpretation is a structure consisting of (IR, IP, IS, IL, IT, IEXT) such that: - (IR, IP, IS, IL, IEXT) is a RDF 1.1 simple interpretation. - IT is a mapping from IRxIPxIR to IR. Add a section "RDF-star semantically quoted triples interpretation" between "5.1 Blank Nodes" and "5.2 Simple Entailment" Extend the mapping [I+A] as follows: [I+A](<<<s,p,o>>>) = IT( ([I+A](s),[I+A](p),[I+A](o)) ). Extend the semantic conditions for an RDF-star graph as follows: [I+A](b,unstar-sem:subject,s)=true iff ∃p,o. [I+A](<<<s,p,o>>>)=[I+A](b) [I+A](b,unstar-sem:predicate,p)=true iff ∃s,o. [I+A](<<<s,p,o>>>)=[I+A](b) [I+A](b,unstar-sem:object,o)=true iff ∃s,p. [I+A](<<<s,p,o>>>)=[I+A](b) [I+A](s,p,o)=true iff ∃b. [I+A](<<<s,p,o>>>)=[I+A](b) Add to the "5.3 Properties of simple entailment (Informative)" section: The following holds: given the mapping LS from RDF-star graphs to RDF-1.1 graphs defined below, a RDF-star graph G entails a RDF-star graph E under the "sem" interpretation if and only if LS(G) entails LS(E) under RDF-1.1 simple interpretation. LS(G) is defined as follows. While G contains sem-quoted triples: 1) Pick an RDF-star sem-quoted triple (s, p, o) in the constituents of G such that neither s nor o is a sem-quoted triple. 2) Mint a fresh blank node b (i.e., such that b is not in the constituents of G). 3) Replace with b all occurrences of (s, p, o) in the subject or object position of an asserted or sem-quoted triple of G. 4) Add the following asserted triples to G: (b, unstar-sem:subject, s) (b, unstar-sem:predicate, p) (b, unstar-sem:object, o) (s, p, o) This semantics has the following properties: * Semantic embedded triples are fully transparent. * Semantic embedded triples are always asserted. * Semantic embedded triples entail their reification *and* vice-versa (logical equivalence). * Monotonically extends RDF 1.1 and full backward compatible with RDF 1.1: if a RDF-star graph does not contain semantically quoted triples, then then the RDF-star "sem" semantics coincides with the RDF 1.1 semantics. * The semantics is compositional.
