Re: ✅ Literals as subjects Re: Toward easier RDF: a proposal

honestly, if those guys [1] get by without literals as subject, i think
everybody should :-)
is there any serious, real world use case, that would solve a problem
without messing with unique, globally identifyable keys?

even more useful things to do.. :-)

=> jurgen#u rdf:type some:LetterU <=
=> rdf:type budd:Nirvana <=
