RDF Semantics is currently proposing to define merge as the set union of RDF graphs. Note that if not all sets of triples are RDF graphs (see ISSUE-120) then union of RDF graphs may not be an RDF graph.

Defining the merge as the union also means that a set of RDF graphs is not equivalent to its merge.
