Re: Summary of the options on the table

Hi Pierre-Antoine,


thank you for this table! Of course, I have questions…

First about the table row "Supports one name for several triples?". What does that mean and how does the sugar proposal differ from all others in that respect? As far as I understood, every proposal allows to name multiple occurrences/instances of the same triple - just as RDF standard reification does. Furthermore each proposal provides some mechanism to prevent that the same occurrence name can refer to more than one triple, but that is covered in the next row, "Atomicity". So what is the meaning if the row "Supports one name for several triples?"?

The next question I should actually address to Enrico, but since he’s in South Africa and you made the table, I'll bother you ;-) Why is it significant that a blank node and not an IRI represents the reification? And why is that indirection via rdf:nameOf needed in the first place, what’s its special power?


Best,
Thomas

Their description is scattered in many places (minutes, emails, documents and wiki pages on github), so I tried to summarize them all in one document, with links to what I consider are the more recent sources.
