+<p>It is sometimes convenient to loosen the requirements on <a>RDF
+ triple</a>s. For example, the completeness of the RDFS entailment rules
+ is easier to show with a generalization of RDF triples. Note that any
+ users of these generalized notions need to be aware that their use may
+ cause interoperability problems, and that there is no requirement on the
+ part of any RDF tool to accept, process, or produce anything beyond
+ regular RDF triples, graphs, and datasets. </p>
+
+ <p><em>A generalized RDF triple</em> is an RDF triple generalized so
+ that subjects, predicates, and objects all allowed to be IRIs, blank
+ nodes, or literals. A <em>generalized RDF graph</em> is an RDF graph of
+ generalized RDF triples, i.e., a set of generalized RDF triples.
+ A <em>generalized RDF dataset</em> is an RDF dataset of generalized RDF
+ graphs where graph labels can be IRIs, blank nodes, or literals.</p>
