In my opinion the divergence boils down to Pat believing that this informative section should be more informal and David believing that it has to be more formal. The wording differences appear to amount to: Current document: An RDF graph is true exactly when: 1. the IRIs and literals in subject or object position in the graph all refer to things, 2. there is some way to interpret all the blank nodes in the graph as referring to things, 3. the IRIs in property position refer to binary relationships, 4. and under these interpretations, each triple S P O in the graph asserts that the thing referred to as S, and the thing referred to as O, do in fact stand in the relationship referred to by P. David's proposal: [[ An RDF graph is true under a given interpretation exactly when: 1. the IRIs and literals in subject or object position in the graph all refer to things, 2. there is some way to map all the blank nodes in the graph to things, 3. the IRIs in property position refer to binary relationships, and 4. each triple S P O in the graph asserts that the thing referred to as S, and the thing referred to as O, do in fact stand in the relationship referred to by P. ]] The difference is that David apparently believes that this section should be about truth in an interpretation whereas the current wording sits "above" this. Given that David's proposal is not false, and that it also does provide an intuitive summary, can everyone (who cares) live with David's wording? I can. The response that would go out should be fairly carefully written. peter
