There is the discussion "[Graphs] Proposal: RDF Datasets" for example. It's good to see a specific proposal being made and used to seed discussion. There is the prov-WG telecon upcoming. On the literals issue, while it time permitting, the WG has already decided on one change that does impact existing data and existing software (simple literals and xsd:string). As someone connected with software, there is a very real cost in explaining and supporting people through this change. What would be helpful is a WG write-up of the change, in simple and easily accessible language, that people offering (free) support to users can refer to. It does not have to be a formal WG document. I'm willing to help and/or write such a thing. Andy
