I believe that we need one that captures the REST semantics that was discussed, and we would have to have the equivalent of sameAs, and maybe 'tagging', ie, no semantics. In a way, this is a somewhat syntactic reflection of what I raised in November, namely that we will not agree on _one_ semantics, because the association of a URI and a graph seems to diverge in very different views.
