This style of using RDF does however directly violate the RDF specifications, and so is not conformant.

It is a possibly delicate point. The RDF 1.1 WG had members who were working under the graph-as-context assumption, so indeed this way of thinking is definitely in use out the wild wide world. Still, it is non-conformant. > But is it still OK to use the graph-as-context trick to allow that different graphs are interpreted under interpretations with differing IEXT mappings (per http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#interp)? No, not really. Each interpretation fixes all this stuff for all IRIs, and there isn't any provision in the spec for allowing any of this change contextually. Its easy to tweak the semantics to make it work, but it does need a tweak. > This is covered only in the formal parts, which I read as expressed with respect to a particular graph and interpretation, so I *think* that would be OK.
