Ah, back to quads. I'd like to be able to identify triples, too. In fact,
I remember thinking during the recent thread on "dark triples" (was that
here or on rdf-interest?) that the concept didn't seem workable to me
without being able to identify actual triples and to make statements about
them. Maybe I just didn't understand something crucial.
Cheers,
