Don't think I fully understand what you have in mind, are you talking: <s> <p> <x, y, z> (which is kinda supported already with turtle syntax) or <s> <p1,x> <p2,y> <p3,z> (which is also kinda supported already, albeit lengthy) or something else? n-tuples would certainly have the advantage of mapping more directly to SQL-style data Cheers, Danny.
