- 15:26:27 [TallTed]
- ... work around N3 for graph terms, but need to not import all of N3
- 15:27:37 [TallTed]
- ... making large changes between early-adopter implementations of un-spec'ed RDF-star, and our output, could break implementer momentum, marking importance of use cases
- 15:29:05 [TallTed]
- ... there are issues with repurposing named graphs for quoted/annotated triples ... could work through resolving these issues instead of taking them as reason to invent something else for quoted/annotated triples

- 15:39:13 [tl]
- q+
- 15:39:20 [pchampin]
- TallTed: it can be helpful to think about blank nodes as pronouns
- 15:39:47 [pchampin]
- ... without an antecedent, a pronoun has no meaning, but with an antecedant it has a lot of meaning
- 15:39:55 [pchampin]
- ... the same for blank nodes: the context makes all the difference

- ack tl
- 15:40:15 [pchampin]
- ... blank nodes can be challenging but are necessary
- 15:40:43 [pchampin]
- tl: did you say that we should standardize graphs?
- 15:40:57 [niklasl]
- I think Andy's point is important; and wonder if bnode skolemization is a "dead end" for accessing bnodes over the web, or a possibility?
- 15:41:07 [pchampin]
- AndyS: I didn't say anything strong one way or another. My point was to insist on "it's the web"
- 15:41:34 [pchampin]
- ... I happen to think that if we don't have groups of triples, I'm less confident about triples on their own.
- 15:41:44 [pchampin]
- ... But that's not an absolute MUST do.
- 15:41:54 [pchampin]

- gkellogg: another comment... the only way we have to talk about things is through syntax, but we need to be careful about relying on syntax when discussing abstracts
- 16:00:37 [TallTed]
- ... nested graphs are graphs within graphs but they don't seem to be represented via triples
- 16:00:37 [TallTed]
- [ please clean and supplement that, as needed ... I've failed to track speech sufficiently to capture even a skim ]
- 16:01:54 [TallTed]
- ... in my mind, blank nodes have always had something of a wave/particle dual-nature
- 16:02:47 [TallTed]
- ... among other things, you can only refer to them indirectly, and this inevitably loses some pieces of the original through that indirect reference
