Re: GoodRelations Light

What is a bnode really? It has no name, it is thus  sort of an implicit
node. Whatever name we use for it should be suggestive of the meaning, if it
is going to widely used. Even for geeks seeing it for the first time, a
meaningful name is easier and faster to learn from and work with.

"bnode" suggests nothying of the meaning.
"anonymous node" is a bit more helpful.
"unnamed node" is a bit shorter, faster to grok
"implicit node" also captures something of what it means.

Anything but "bnode" :-))
