I was going to raise that, it's where the "resource state" http/rest
story and the rdf "snapshot" story both breaks down.
Perhaps we should just scrap that story early on and have Named-G-Box =
( <u>, GB ) where GB = { gt1, gt2, gt3, ... }
Where gt* are g-texts, and GB is a g-box. A g-box being a set of g-texts
over time. And of course a named-g-box is just a GB associated with a URI.
If we need g-snap, which I'm sure we do, then perhaps each g-text
encodes/serializes a g-snap, and several g-texts may all
encode/serialize equivalent g-snaps, but that requires g-snap equality
to be determined.
O, actually I quite like that, then all g-snap's are anonymous abstract
sets of rdf triples, and it's the set of g-texts (g-box) that is
associated with a name.
Thoughts?
Best,
Nathan
