Hello! > As discussed in the call today, we need to decide whether to define any operations on RDF Datasets in the RDF Concepts document. > > There is a wiki page that lists some possible candidate operations, along with some discussion, pointers to possible definitions, etc.: > http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/Dataset_Operations > > The candidate operations listed there are: > > * Isomorphism > * Union > * Merge > * Untrusting Merge > * Equivalence > * Entailment > * Equality > * Folding/Unfolding > * Union Dataset and Merge Dataset > > Any opinions? In particular, arguments *for* including some of this stuff? Candidate definitions, etc.? > I am a bit concerned about reopening dataset semantics discussions here, but an argument for including some of this would simply be to specify the behavior of a store when loading a dataset serialisation (e.g. a TriG file) which imho is very desirable. Or at least an unambiguous way for such stores to explain what approach they're taking when loading a dataset. I think that would be covered by the union and merge operations. Perhaps there could be room for that in the dataset semantics note?
