To take the quad as a basic building block. It's worth noting that in practice RDF is a set allowing multiple values yielding an array. However in the case of literals it's very often a single value. I only found one example that wasnt in one profile (foaf : nick). Additionally, for functional properties you'll only have one value. This could be a heuristic for some nice js3 or simplerdf style syntax. What is the goal? Something like making "the jquery of rdf"? > > Best, > > Ruben
