I'd like to keep “container” here to leave the definition broader. How about replacing “source” with “provider”? They are near synonyms, and “source” is already in the defined term itself. > - "RDF sources may change their state over time.

Well, works for me, so changed. > As a minor note, 3.1 the definition of a Triple, "An RDF triple contains three components", does this differ in any way from "An RDF triple is comprised of three components", and if not, is the latter a possible editorial change? I agree, “contains” implies that there might be identity that is independent from the “contents”. The proposed “is comprised of” fixes that, but sounds complicated. I changed it to "consists of", perhaps a good middle ground. Best, Richard
