Quoted Triples #23

Closed gkellogg closed 1 year ago

gkellogg commented 1 year ago

The RDF-star CG Report describes the core concepts RDF-star graph, RDF-star dataset, and RDF-star triple. Additionally, it defines quoted triple, asserted triple, and constituent terms.

This issue is for either using these definitions in RDF 1.2 Concepts, or updating the definitions of core components in RDF 1.2 to include the notion of a triple as an RDF term so that a triple is inherently recursively defined.

[...] or updating the definitions of core components in RDF 1.2 to include the notion of a triple as an RDF term so that a triple is inherently recursively defined.

I would say that this is not possible because it would require definitions that have a circular dependency on one another. Instead, the notion of an RDF triple (assuming an RDF 1.2 version that incorporates RDF-star) has to defined in a recursive way as done in the CG report.
