This part of SPARQL is successful and useful despite being disconnected from the RDF Model Theory. RDF Datasets as they are defined in SPARQL have no impact on entailments, and therefore do not require a relation to the RDF Model Theory. Semantic extensions (like Antoine's import proposal) can of course extend the RDF Model Theory in order to explain their extended notion of entailment. > and therefore to any RDF content. This does not follow. “RDF content” is the triples in the data model. Best, Richard
