, In http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2000Sep/0032.html you raised an issue which was captured in http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-identity-of-statements as [[[ There is a question whether or not there can be two different statements with the same subject, object and property. Most people seem to say "no". I have suggested that this should be allowed because it can be expressed in reified RDF statements and that there should be a 1:1 correspondence between what can be expressed in an RDF model and its reification. ]]] As recorded in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Feb/0476.html the RDFCore WG has resolved: <stmt1> <rdf:type> <rdf:Statement> . <stmt1> <rdf:subject> <subject> . <stmt1> <rdf:predicate> <predicate> . <stmt1> <rdf:object> <object> . <stmt2> <rdf:type> <rdf:Statement> . <stmt2> <rdf:subject> <subject> . <stmt2> <rdf:predicate> <predicate> . <stmt2> <rdf:object> <object> . <stmt1> <property> <foo> . does not entail: <stmt2> <property> <foo> . This is a formal way of saying that two reified statements with the same subject, predicate and object can be different resources. Please could you respond to this message, copying www-rdf-comments@w3.org indicating whether this is an acceptable resolution of this issue. Brian McBride RDFCore co-chair
