Anyway, my implementation is mainly based on the Stanford API and does associate an unique ID to each statement and represents statements as resources (internally); such unique IDs allow me to store easily triples in a key/value Berkeley DB and it work like a charm. On the other side, the parser generates genid(s) for anonymous resources, such the ones of reified statements. So my Perl code is doing what it is supposed to do, parse, store and run queries. I understand that your issues about fixing the spec are of relevance, but at the same time I think there are people out there like me that are trying to leverage on what the spec offers and build something useful with it. Yours Alberto
