We seem to be talking a lot more about n-ary relations now, rather than “statements about statements.” I'm interested mostly in triple-level provenance/annotation, and improved interoperability with LPG data, while you seem primarily focused on reifications with n-ary relationship, and I think this discussion is revealing that the varying desires can be at odds with each other. OK, your use case is well covered by our formalisation. Why do you want to prevent that other use case could be covered by this formalisation? Modal cases (namely, another case of statements about statements) undergoes the same issues I’m emphasising. :john :believes << :b1 | :enrico :married-in :rome >> . << :b1 | :enrico :married-in :rome >> :date 1962 . << :b1 | :enrico :married-on 1962 >> :location :rome . << :b1 | :enrico :married-in :rome >> :location :rome . << :b1 | :enrico :married-on 1962 >> :date 1962 . —e.
