Re: Proposal: described vs stated triple terms

Hi Thomas,

> that is exactly how I see it, but Enrico’s responses to Gregory Williams [0] and the RDF/LPG wikipage [1] they refer to seem to suggest a different reading. 

I happen to agree 100% with Andy’s email.
I don’t see any contradiction with [0] and [1].
cheers
