Interesting, I made a graph of this too and put it up side by side wit
yours at [1].  Is my graph semantically interoperable with yours -even
though it is quite different?  The big difference is that in my graph
I allow any statement to be an object, so that it is not necessary for
me to reify so frequently.  This also brings up the question:  How are
reified statements interoprable with non reified statements?  Note
that in my graph they are interoperable.  And of course that brings up
the point - what does semantic interoperablilty really mean (if
anything)?

Incidentally, what graphical tool do you use to make your graphs ?
Doing these by hand is getting pretty tedious.
