I'm bringing this up as a way to tie some concepts together; Notation-3 was recently put to me as a syntax for a superset of RDF, and it looks like the same superset that the term "generalized RDF" introduces. It's partly there, but of course it's dataset model is also different than RDF datasets: * Subjects can be URIs, BNodes or Literals * Predicates can be URIs or BNodes * Objects can be URIs, BNodes or Literals * Graphs (formulae) are not named, although they can be equated with something else using the "=" predicate, which is shorthand for owl:sameAs (it was a different property in previous versions, AFAIR) * Has existential and universal quantifiers defined implicitly or using @forAll and @forSome Note that predicates can't be literals. Some of the proposed changes to TriG move us close to much in N3, but probably not @keywords, quantifiers or any built-in notion of entailment other than standard RDF/RDFS entailment.
