Named graphs and RDF messages – Pieter Colpaert

I’ve seen named graphs being called the most horrendous mistake in RDF standardization, to a necessary feature for which, without it, RDF wouldn’t be where it is today. In this blog post I try to explain my interpretation of all this, and how I believe named graphs are here to stay. I also introduce a future outlook, in which I believe we need to talk about RDF messages.
