Pat Hayes, I would like an authoritative interpretation of what the MT is telling us about blank nodes. In particular if an rdf process reads a bnode from source A, and copies that node to a source B, but adds a uriref to the node (making it not blank), has the process changed the meaning of the node ? For example: Source A reads: _:a rdf:type :ball _:a :hasColor :blue. _:a :hasShape :round. _:a :ownedBy :Seth. Source B reads: <uuid:1615> rdf:type :ball. <uuid:1615> :hasColor :blue. <uuid:1615> :hasShape :round. <uuid:1615> :ownedBy :Seth. Is this tantamount to the process A reading "Seth owns some (maybe only one) round blue balls." and copying to B "Seth owns a round blue ball."? If not, could you change my interpretation ever so slightly to illustrate just exactly how the process is mutating (if at all) the meaning of the message? Seth Russell
