One kind of use that I am thinking of is just using RDF datasets to record multiple graphs, which no commitment to any interchange of information between the named graphs or between the default graph and the named graphs or even any commitment to having the names being formally related to the graphs. > Again for my understanding. Unless I miss something fundamental, everything you say is possible with the proposed semantics up to the statement "any commitment to having the names being formally related to the graphs". Indeed, the current IGEXT mechanism does impose a (albeit fairly weak) relationship between the name and the graph. Is there any other major difference between what you propose and what is on the wiki page?
