Re: additional issue-57 use case: polysemy

Jonathan, greetings. 

I wonder if I might draw your attention to a proposal to allow RDF graphs to be treated 'contextually' so that they can declare their own context using an imports-like convention. This would seem to handle Larry's case very naturally, and it might help resolve other problems. It really amounts to tweaking RDF so that it emulates the CYC context machinery in a social Web-based framework. There is a description at

http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/AnotherSpin

which refers back to an earlier version which made the connection to CYC more explicit (but was lead-ballooned by the RDF WG.)
