Conclusions from today's Semantics TF

We discussed issue #127<https://github.com/w3c/rdf-star-wg/issues/127> at the Semantics TF<https://www.w3.org/2025/04/11-rdf-star-minutes.html> and we reached this conclusion:

Conclusion 1: we discussed about restricting (or suggesting to restrict) the usage of triple terms only as object of rdf:reifies, but we believe that their usage should be unrestricted.

This conclusion will be brought forward for discussion in the WG.


Moreover, we discussed restricting the usage of nested triple terms, by looking at approximations involving only non-nested triple terms.


Conclusion 2: We feel that this would be depending too much on the use cases. A rewriting of nested triple terms using owl:sameas would be always possible, but beyond RDF. Further discussion will be needed in the WG, specifically involving Souri, who has arguments in favour of such approximations.
