Ir means that the URI can be used to refer to the graph externally to the dataset. AFAIK, this is the only proposal on the table for how one can attach a URI to a graph as the name of that graph (Ie constrain interpretations so that they all have the URI denoting the graph.) So any kind of "metadata" about RDF graphs expresed in RDF needs this, or soemthing with equal semantic weight.
