My understanding is that << … >> triples are _not_ automatically asserted.  They are asserted using {! … |}.

An N-Triples* syntax would only have << … >>, and graph isomorphism would need to be updated to consider that, so we can express the results of parsing Turtle* (or whatever*) in terms of N-Triples*/Quads*.

I believe Andy was going to create some Evaluation tests, based on what EYE does (which should be the same as my tools). In particular, I consider the following equivalent:

:a :b :c {! :d :e |} .

and

:a :b :c .
<<:a :b :c>> :d :e .

A hypothetical reification of this graph using the reification vocabulary might be the following:

:a :b :c .
_:st a rdf:Statement
  rdf:subject :a;
  rdf:predicate :b;
  rdf:object :c;
  :d :e .

And, that might be adequate for isomorphism, at least in test evaluation.
