+<h4>Label Serialization Algorithm</h4>
+
+<p>
+<tref>map of properties</tref>, <tdef>label serialization</tdef>
+</p>
+
+<ol class="algorithm">
+ <li>Initialize the <tref>label serialization</tref> to an empty string.</li>
+ <li>Append the <code>[</code> character to the
+ <tref>label serialization</tref>.</li>
+ <li>Append to the <tref>label serialization</tref> by processing each
+ key-value pair in the <tref>map of properties</tref>, excluding the
+ <code>@subject</code> property ???do the map keys need to be sorted???:
+ <ol class="algorithm">
+ <li>Build a string using the pattern <code><</code><strong>KEY</strong><code>></code>
+ where <strong>KEY</strong> is the current key. Append string to the
+ <tref>label serialization</tref>.</li>
+ <li>The value may be a single object or an array of objects.
+ Process all of the objects that are associated with the key, building
+ an <tdef>object string</tdef> for each item:
+ <ol class="algorithm">
+ <li>If the object contains an <code>@iri</code> key with a
+ value that starts
+ with <code>_:</code>, set the <tref>object string</tref> to
+ the value <code>_:</code>. If the value does not
+ start with <code>_:</code>, build the <tref>object string</tref>
+ using the pattern
+ <code><</code><strong>IRI</strong><code>></code>
+ where <strong>IRI</strong> is the value associated with the
+ <code>@iri</code> key.</li>
+ <li>If the object contains a <code>@literal</code> key and a
+ <code>@datatype</code> key, build the <tref>object string</tref>
+ using the pattern
+ <code>"</code><strong>LITERAL</strong><code>"^^<</code><strong>DATATYPE</strong><code>></code>
+ where <strong>LITERAL</strong> is the value associated with the
+ <code>@literal</code> key and <strong>DATATYPE</strong> is the
+ value associated with the <code>@datatype</code> key.</li>
+ <li>If the object contains a <code>@literal</code> key and a
+ <code>@language</code> key, build the <tref>object string</tref>
+ using the pattern
+ <code>"</code><strong>LITERAL</strong><code>"@</code><strong>LANGUAGE</strong>
+ where <strong>LITERAL</strong> is the value associated with the
+ <code>@literal</code> key and <strong>LANGUAGE</strong> is the
+ value associated with the <code>@language</code> key.</li>
+ <li>Otherwise, the value is a string. Build the
+ <tref>object string</tref> using the pattern
+ <code>"</code><strong>LITERAL</strong><code>"</code>
+ where <strong>LITERAL</strong> is the value associated with the
+ current key.</li>
+ <li>Append the <tref>object string</tref> to the
+ <tref>label serialization</tref>.</li>
+ </ol>
+ </ol>
+ </li>
+ <li>Append the <code>]</code> character to the
+ <tref>label serialization</tref>.</li>
+ <li>
+
+ <li>Serialize all of the incoming references.</li>
