Ah, that clarifies that detail.

I did assume that since that was already asserted (through the "triple
occurrence" syntax (here used in "sketch form", to allude to Thomas'
further question)), that you meant that the assertion also "entails
the occurrence". This may or may not be a consequence; I suppose
intuitively it should, but as there is currently no "reifications are
always entailed by assertions" in RDF semantics (right?), it hasn't
yet been called for as a formal necessity. (Of course, again there's
that "Named Graphs 2005, Carroll et al" paper...)

All the best,
Niklas
