But I think we need to distinguish between what happens inside a implementation and what that application communicates to the external world in an RDF expression. If I were to design an internal implementation that had fuzzy probabilities on arcs, I would put the probabilities inside of the arcs and store them in some kind of ntuples. But if that data needed to be communicated to the external world in RDF, then hanging the probabilities off the property nodes is one option ... > (or reify both statements and attach the confidence level to those) ? and I suppose that would be another.
