Sorry, some misunderstanding.

The intent of my example is not about "asserted by somebody" issue.

Let me restate it as follows:

X {...; Y a Truth; ...}
Y {......}
Z {......}
...

How about the meaning of <A, N>? where X is in A, and Y is not in A.

How about in the case X {....; Y log:implies Z; ...}

It seems to me that these constructs are not considered in the "Named Graph" paper.

Further,   in the case X {....; {...} log:implies Y; ...} 

The URIs within the accepted graphs should be merged, how about the ones in some unaccepted graph (such as Y)? and inner (unnamed) graph?
