Re: usage of fourth quad element

Hi,
I have not built quads from JS so far.
But I have used them a lot in Java and in the context of RDF datasets upon
which run SPARQL queries.
In those cases the fourth element identifies the data source, in a way. For
example, to integrate different datasets.

I don't like '.why' because it seems to relate to a specific application of
Named Graphs (provenance?).
So for example in my case it should be '.source' instead and for the RDF
streaming guys should be '.when'.

I like '.graph' but I would prefer '.graphName' because it is the standard
name [1] and I think the property '.graph' could be better used when
referring to the actual content of a graph (e.g., in a future upper layer
of JS RDF interfaces).
Sesame (the Java framework) call this fourth element 'context' and I think
this would be a nice choice too.

Best,
Miguel
