NamedNode

This wiki serves as structure documentation for proposal to use term NamedNode instead of IRI

excerpts from original chat:

timbl Like you can say in turtle

<#pi>  =  math:Pi,  3.14159 .

That will smush to a node which has two URIs, and th value a decimal number.

timbl

In pi = 3.141
x = pi + 1
what is the name of x? what is the value of x?
x ’s name is ‘x’
x’s value is 4.141

that’s how i think of these things

Niklas:

• what does this API represent? The "bottom level" representation, as in: The graph composed of nodes connected with edges, represented by triples of id:s (IRIs or node IDs or Literals)?
• if the node is the vertex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(graph_theory)) it cannot be the edge (predicate)? (That would also be in favour of renaming BlankNode to BlankNodeID I guess)
• also consider https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#data-model
• considering differences between:
• Triple(subject=IRI, predicate=IRI, object=BNodeID)
• Edge(from=Node(label=subjectIRI), label=predicateIRI, to=Node(label=BNodeID))
• Resource(id=IRI)r.getObjects(predicate=IRI) == [Resource(id=BNodeID)] — https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/rdfjs
