I would call that a FACT more than a STATEMENT ; I read in the word 'statement' the action of 'stating', that's why I'm rather pro first-reading... Though, even if reified statements have unique identifiers only based on their s/p/o, we could easily add a level with a Class of resources like "Stating" and an appropriate link to the correpsondong statement. [Stating] <--type-+[local-URI]--states--> [unique-URI]+-type--> [Statement] "12/13/99" <--date-+ +-subject--> [...] "champin" <--author--' +-object--> [...] `-predicate--> [...] Such a dichotomty between the unique universal "statement" and each local "stating" might be useful ; Since, this is clearly not the way it is recommanded in RDF M&S : properties like "author" are directly attached to the Statement resources which is therefore considered emminently local.
