Sorry if that wasn't clear. If we have a fixed mechanism that the 4th slot denotes the graph and that is the only standard mechanism, the labelling discussion is moot. If we have the notion of labelling (ie. it's in the pair (IRI, graph value) no fixed semantics to that usage ... If the 4th slot IRI (label) is actually denoting the graph container, and the triples have the IRI in the object slot, that IRI must denote the graph container. If the 4th slot IRI (label) is actually denoting the graph (value) and the triples have the IRI in the object slot, that IRI must denote the graph (value). Since that attempt at pulling out what I thought was general understanding (there is only globally-understood denotation) didn't work - please ignore my message. Andy
