The graph portion is pretty hidden away at the moment (unless you're an administrator) so it made sense to call it triples. Actually if I was going to include graphs in a human-writable serialization it probably wouldn't use quads - I suspect braces around the triples (a la trig named-graphs[1]) would be the most intuitive way. Actually I didn't give much thought to the name ;-) Cheers, Phil [1] http://www.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/suhl/bizer/TriG/
