Another approach (instead of reification, which I personally hate), is to use named graphs. Named graph have to be used differently, but can often solve the same use case. For RDF stores that store everything as quads anyway, my guess is that even if you have only one named graph per triple it would likely involve less overhead than reification, but perhaps one or more of the developers of such stores can comment on that more authoritatively. -- David Booth, Ph.D. http://dbooth.org/ Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of his employer.
