- graph

- named graph
- Named Graphs is the idea that having multiple RDF graphs in a single document/repository and naming them with URIs provides useful additional functionality. – http://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/

if whenever an elementa
is related to an elementb
, andb
is in turn related to an elementc
, thena
is also related toc
