==== The Semantics of RDF Datasets and Dealing with Quad-sets ====

“[http://www.w3.org/2009/12/rdf-ws/papers/ws24 Triplesets: Tagging and Grouping in RDF Datasets]”, Atanas Kiryakov, Vassil Momtchev (Short Presentation) ([http://www.ontotext.com/publications/next-RDF-triplesets-pres.PDF Slides]). The major points from the presentation and the related discussion:
# the semantics of addition and removal of statements in RDF Datasets needs to be defined
# RDF datasets can be presented as sets of SPOG quadruples, which can be seen as RDF multi-graphs
# there are data integration scenarios which require a mechanism to assign metadata to parts of such datasets
# such parts of datasets represent sets of SPOG quadruples, subsets of the contents of the entire dataset, which are independent from NGs
# the proposed triplesets provide such mechanism (a better name could be "quadsets")
