Looks good.

One tweak

"M between the nodes, triples and graphs in D1"
==>
"M between the RDF Terms, triples, graphs and graph labels in D2"

node -> "RDF term"
explicitly put 'graph label' in the things mapped

The latter is not strictly necessary if 'RDF term' is used; 'node' is 
open to confusion with a general use of "node" as vertex of a graph.
