Do we want one notion of interpretation that defines the truth of RDF triples, RDF graphs and RDF datasets all together in a unified way? > I would suggest that if we can treat a dataset with a single default graph as being just like a graph, then (1) we in effect will already have this, provided that (2) obviously, the interpretation of such a graph-like datset should be exactly like the interpretation of a graph. So, in response: Yes, and it should come for free.
