All statements made in a document are identified by a URI. The URI may contain a fragment identifier which is an ID if one is explicitly provided or an XPointer if one is not, hence no location within an XML document is anonymous (modulo certain whitespace and other items not in the infoset). > > You have established that that the bags representing descriptions > are modeling syntactic entitities, i.e. the description elements > in a document.

It depends on what you consider the URI that identifies the statement in the description bag (e.g. (bagURI,_1,statementURI) the statement or the stating. Since the URI itself does not define the triple but points to where the triple is stated, it is reasonable to call this the stating.
