Given a statement:
[s] --p--> [o]
and the further statements
[S1] --rdf:type-------> [rdf:Statement]
[S1] --rdf:subject----> [s]
[S1] --rdf:predicate--> [p]
[S1] --rdf:object-----> [o]
I think it's more helpful to say "S1 reifies [s]--p-->[o]" that to say that
"S1 is the reification of [s]--p-->[o]".
In this way, using different identifiers to describe "[s]--p-->[o]" does
not force us to conclude that there are multiple instances of the statement
itself. The abstract triple can then be legitimately regarded as unique.
