If "assertion = speech act", the assertion *has* to take place in a "context" for example a point in time. Thus it is tempting to conclude that a graph is asserted, if it (1) describes itself or (2) is described somewhere else with the properties dc:author and dc:date. 2. Publishing an unasserted graph on the Web wouldn't be a speech act. What would it be?? Correct me where I'm wrong.
