... going back to the spec: a triple is a 3-tuple, that's all

scribe: ora
15:17:40 [ora]
pchampin: I do not agree that the chevrons are a quoting operator, they are an embedding operator.
15:17:53 [AndyS]
q+ to bring in some current spec text
15:18:04 [ora]
pchampin: In Lisp, you can simply remove the quote. Not so in RDF-star.
15:18:18 [ora]
pchampin: Context of use makes a triple quoted or asserted.
15:18:28 [pchampin]
q?
15:18:33 [ora]
pchampin: I do not disagree with the analogy, but it could be confusing.
15:18:36 [TallTed]
Nitpick: Chevrons are the `«»` glyphs, which are distinct from double angle brackets `<< >>`.
15:18:39 [AndyS]
"A quoted triple is a triple used as the subject or object of another triple."
15:18:40 [pchampin]
ack AndyS
15:18:40 [Zakim]
AndyS, you wanted to bring in some current spec text
15:19:10 [ora]
AndyS: This line from the spec... change it to "...can be used...".
15:19:24 [ora]
AndyS: Chevrons are doing the quoting.

thomas: Aren't we making things too complicated?
15:20:35 [ora]
pchampin: I am not making a distinction between quoted and embedded triples.
15:21:05 [ora]
pchampin: The main role of the chevrons are to "embed" a triple. You can only do this in a certain context.
15:21:17 [ora]
thomas: Also you can only quote in a certain context.

AndyS: What do we have to do, to change in the spec?

AndyS: Another source of validation exists.
