Reification

The XML syntax of RDF provides a way to reify asserted statements: a single arc can be reified by adding an rdf:ID attribute to the property element, which will define the URI of the reified statement. On the other hand, every arc generated by a description can be reified by adding an rdf:bagID attribute to the Description. This defines the URI of a new bag resource, whose members are the reified statements.
