Publishing a dump of a large datasets that was integrated or extracted from different sources, while keeping source information intact. > When it is done, what typically happens to the RDF triples in the graphs in the dataset? Do other applications extract them and mash them up with other RDF? Or are they always kept in their dataset 'context'? Some all load them into a single graph, some keep them carefully separate, some only load the contents of a carefully selected subset of the graphs in the dataset, some run a transformation process that takes context information into account in order to derive a new integrated RDF graph, etc etc etc Best, Richard
