The only thing you provide are several examples that are written using a Turtle-like syntax and that supposedly illustrate how Nested Graphs may be represented in that particular syntax, but these examples don't help me to understand what exactly a Nested Graph is. this is definitely not a way of putting things that I have much experience in, so please tell me if the following makes sense to you: A nested graph is a pair consisting of an IRI or a blank node (the graph name), and an RDF graph. The name denotes the pair of name and graph. Nested graph names are unique within an RDF dataset. A nested graph may contain other nested graphs, recursively. A nested graph may occur in the default graph as well as in named graphs.

Along the same lines, can you provide a definition of the notion of a Nested Graph that you have in mind? > > Thanks, > Olaf > > [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf12-concepts/#dfn-rdf-triple > > [2] https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf12-concepts/#dfn-rdf-graph > > [3] https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf12-concepts/#dfn-named-graph > > > >
