While still digesting all these messages, we try to give some points.
A statement triple is unique but we can have many notations:
1. Plain RDF:
<rdf:Description about="s">
<p>o</p>
</rdf:Description>
2. Assembly RDF:
<rdf:Statement>
<rdf:subject>s</rdf:subject>
<rdf:predicate>p</rdf:predicate>
<rdf:object>o</rdf:object>
</rdf:Statement>
It is a bit lengthy and could be used for nesting s and o.
3. Interned notation:
[s]p[o]
This is rather compact and could be used for nesting s and o.
If we assert a statement triple we have a fact or rule (stating).
It's just an idea, but why not use that interned thing as a
(Skolem) value for the statement triple identification?
So one could write things like
context-URI#[s]p[[a]b[c]]
It is reasonably compact, is easy to compute, can handle
nested models, etc...

p.s. for a quad we assume that the context-URI is the extra thing
