+      <p>
+        This document defines a model-theoretic semantics for RDF graphs and the RDF and RDFS vocabularies, providing an exact formal specification of when truth is preserved by transformations of RDF or operations which derive RDF content from other RDF. </p>
+
+    </section>
+<section id="conformance"><p>This specification, <em>RDF 1.1 Semantics</em>, is normative for RDF semantics and the validity of RDF inference processes. It is not normative for many aspects of RDF meaning which are not described or specified by this semantics, including social issues of how IRIs are assigned meanings in use and how the referents of IRIs are related to Web content expressed in other media such as natural language texts. </p></section>
+    
+ <section>
+      <h2 id="extensions">Semantic Extensions and Entailment Regimes</h2>
+      <p>RDF is intended for use as a base notation for a variety of extended notations such as OWL [[OWL2-OVERVIEW]] and RIF [[RIF-OVERVIEW]], whose expressions can be encoded as RDF graphs which use a particular vocabulary with a specially defined meaning. Also, particular IRI vocabularies may be given meanings by other specifications or conventions. When such extra meanings are assumed, a given RDF graph may support more extensive entailments than are sanctioned by the basic RDF semantics. In general, the more assumptions that are made about the meanings of IRIs in an RDF graph, the more entailments follow from those assumptions. </p>
+
+<p>A particular such set of semantic assumptions is called a <dfn>semantic extension</dfn>. Each <a>semantic extension</a> defines an <dfn>entailment regime</dfn> of entailments which are valid under that extension. RDFS, described later in this document, is one such <a>semantic extension</a>. We will refer to an entailment regime by names such as <em> RDFS entailment</em>, <em>D-entailment</em>, etc. </p>
+
+<p><a>Semantic extension</a>s MAY impose special syntactic conditions or restrictions upon RDF graphs, such as requiring certain triples to be present, or prohibiting particular combinations of IRIs in triples, and MAY consider RDF graphs which do not conform to these conditions to be errors. For example, RDF statements of the form <br/><br/> <code>ex:a rdfs:subClassOf "Thing"^^xsd:string .</code><br/><br/> are prohibited in the OWL <a>semantic extension</a> based on description logics [[!OWL2-SYNTAX]]. In such cases, basic RDF operations such as taking a subset of triples, or combining RDF graphs, may cause syntax errors in parsers which recognize the extension conditions. None of the <a>semantic extension</a>s normatively defined in this document impose such syntactic restrictions on RDF graphs.</p>
+
+<p>All entailment regimes MUST be <a>monotonic</a> extensions of the simple entailment regime described in the document, in the sense that if A <a>simply entails</a> B then A also entails B under any extended notion of entailment, provided that any syntactic conditions of the extension are also satisfied. Put another way, a <a>semantic extension</a> cannot "cancel" an entailment made by a weaker entailment regime, although it can treat the result as a syntax error.</p>

+      <p>This document uses the following terminology for describing RDF graph syntax, all as defined in the companion RDF Concepts specification [[!RDF11-CONCEPTS]]: <em><a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-iri">IRI</a></em>, <em><a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-triples">RDF triple</a>, <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-rdf-graph">RDF graph</a>, <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-triples">subject</a>, <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-triples" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-triples">predicate</a>, <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-triples">object</a>, <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-rdf-source">RDF source</a>, <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-node">node</a>, <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-blank-node">blank node</a>, <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-literal">literal</a>, <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#graph-isomorphism">isomorphic</a>, and <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-dataset">RDF datasets</a>.</em> All the definitions in this document apply unchanged to <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-generalized-rdf">generalized RDF triples, graphs, and datasets</a>. </p>
+
+
+<p>The words <dfn>denotes</dfn> and <dfn>refers to</dfn> are used interchangeably as synonyms for the relationship between an IRI or literal and what it refers to in a given interpretation, itself called the <dfn>referent</dfn> or <dfn>denotation</dfn>. IRI meanings may also be determined by other constraints external to the RDF semantics; when we wish to refer to such an externally defined naming relationship, we will use the word <dfn>identify</dfn> and its cognates. For example, the fact that the IRI <code>http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#decimal</code> is widely used as the name of a datatype described in the XML Schema document [[XMLSCHEMA11-2]] might be described by saying that the IRI <em>identifies</em> that datatype. If an IRI identifies something it may or may not refer to it in a given interpretation, depending on how the semantics is specified. For example, an IRI used as a graph name <a>identify</a>ing a named graph in an <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-dataset" class="external">RDF dataset</a> may refer to something different from the graph it identifies. </p>
+
+<p>Throughout this document, the equality sign = indicates strict identity. The statement "A = B" means that there is one entity to which both expressions "A" and "B" refer.  Angle brackets &lt; x, y &gt; are used to indicate an ordered pair 
+  of x and y.</p>
+
+<p>Throughout this document, RDF graphs and other fragments of RDF abstract syntax are written using the notational conventions of the Turtle syntax [[!TURTLE-TR]]. The namespace prefixes <code>rdf:</code> <code>rdfs:</code> and <code>xsd:</code> are used as in [[!RDF11-CONCEPTS]], <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#vocabularies">section 1.4</a>. When the exact IRI does not matter, the prefix <code>ex:</code> is used. When stating general rules or conditions we use three-character variables such as aaa, xxx, sss  to indicate arbitrary IRIs, literals, or other components of RDF syntax. Some cases are illustrated by node-arc diagrams showing the graph structure directly.</p>
+

-      <p>
-        This document defines a model-theoretic semantics for RDF graphs and the RDF and RDFS vocabularies, providing an exact formal specification of when truth is preserved by transformations of RDF, or operations which derive RDF content from other RDF.  Readers who are unfamiliar with model theory can find a brief introduction to the basic ideas and terminology in <a>Appendix A</a>, and may find the informative section 13 useful.      </p>
-<p>This specification is normative for RDF <a>formal</a> semantics. However, there are many aspects of RDF meaning which are not covered by this semantics, including social issues of how IRIs are assigned meanings in use, and how the referents of IRIs are related to Web content expressed in other media such as natural language texts.  Accounts of such extended notions of meaning will go beyond this specification, but <em title="MUST NOT" class="rfc2119">MUST NOT</em> violate the conditions described here. </p>

- <section id="semantic-extensions-and-entailment-regimes">
-      <!--OddPage--><h2 id="extensions"><span class="secno">2. </span>Semantic extensions and entailment regimes</h2>
-      <p>RDF is intended for use as a base notation for a variety of extended notations such as OWL [<cite><a href="#bib-OWL2-OVERVIEW" class="bibref">OWL2-OVERVIEW</a></cite>] and RIF [<cite><a href="#bib-RIF-OVERVIEW" class="bibref">RIF-OVERVIEW</a></cite>], whose expressions can be encoded as RDF graphs which use a particular vocabulary with a specially defined meaning. Also, particular IRI vocabularies may impose user-defined meanings upon the basic RDF meaning rules. When such extra meanings are assumed, a given RDF graph may support more extensive entailments than are sanctioned by the basic RDF semantics. In general, the more assumptions that are made about the meanings of IRIs in an RDF graph, the more valid entailments it has. </p>
-
-<p>A particular such set of semantic assumptions is called a <dfn id="dfn-semantic-extension">semantic extension</dfn>. Each semantic extension defines an <dfn id="dfn-entailment-regime">entailment regime</dfn> of entailments which are valid under that extension. RDFS, described later in this document, is one such semantic extension. We will refer to an entailment regime by names such as <em>rdfs-entailment</em>, <em>D-entailment</em>, etc.. </p>
-
-<p>Semantic extensions <em title="MAY" class="rfc2119">MAY</em> impose special syntactic conditions or restrictions upon RDF graphs, such as requiring certain triples to be present, or prohibiting particular combinations of IRIs in triples, and <em title="MAY" class="rfc2119">MAY</em> consider RDF graphs which do not conform to these conditions to be errors. For example, RDF statements of the form <br>
-<code>:a rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing .</code><br>
-are prohibited in the OWL-DL [<cite><a href="#bib-OWL2-SYNTAX" class="bibref">OWL2-SYNTAX</a></cite>] semantic extension. In such cases, basic RDF operations such as taking a subset of triples, or merging RDF graphs, may cause syntax errors in parsers which recognize the extension conditions. None of the semantic extensions normatively defined in this document impose syntactic restrictions on RDF graphs.</p>
-
-<p>All entailment regimes <em title="MUST" class="rfc2119">MUST</em> be <a>monotonic</a> extensions of the simple entailment regime described in the next section, in the sense that if A simply entails B then A also entails B under any extended notion of entailment, provided of course that any syntactic conditions of the extension are also satisfied. Put another way, a semantic extension cannot "cancel" an entailment made by a weaker entailment regime, although it can treat the result as a syntax error.</p>

+<section> <h3>Shared blank nodes, unions and merges</h3>
+<p>
+Graphs share blank nodes only if they are derived from graphs
+described by documents or other structures (such as an RDF dataset) that explicitly provide for the sharing of blank nodes between different RDF graphs.  Simply downloading a
+web document does not mean that the blank nodes in a resulting RDF
+graph are the same as the blank nodes coming from other downloads of
+the same document or from the same <a class="externalDFN" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-rdf-source">RDF source</a>.</p>
 
-<ul><li><p class="changenote"> The 2004 RDF 1.0 specification defined a process of 'standardizing apart' blank nodes to distinguish graph unions from graph merges.  Standardizing apart blank node identifiers may still be needed at a concrete syntax level, but is no longer part of the underlying conceptual model of RDF. The earlier terminology is retained to avoid confusion, but now 'merging' simply means 'taking the union' at the graph syntax level.  </p>
-</li></ul>
+<p> RDF applications which manipulate concrete syntaxes for RDF which use blank node identifiers should take care to keep track of the identity of the blank nodes they identify. Blank node identifiers often have a local scope, so when RDF from different sources is combined, identifiers may have to be changed in order to avoid accidental conflation of distinct blank nodes.</p>
+<p> For example, two documents may both use the blank node identifier "<code>_:x</code>" to identify a blank node, but unless these documents are in a shared identifier scope or are derived from a common source, the occurrences of "<code>_:x</code>" in one document will identify a different blank node than the one in the graph described by the other document. When graphs are formed by combining RDF from multiple sources, it may be necessary to <dfn>standardize</dfn> apart the blank node identifiers by replacing them by others which do not occur in the other document(s). For example, the two graphs represented  by the following texts: </p> 
+<p><code>ex:a ex:p _:x . </code><br/><br/>
+<img src="RDF11SemanticsDiagrams/example1.jpg" /></p>
+<p><code>ex:b ex:q _:x . </code><br/><br/>
+<img src="RDF11SemanticsDiagrams/example2.jpg"></p>
 
+<p>contain four nodes. Their union would therefore also contain four nodes:</p>
+
+<p><img src="RDF11SemanticsDiagrams/example4.jpg"></p>
+
+<p> However, the document formed by simply concatenating these textual surface representations: </p>
+
+<p><code>ex:a ex:p _:x .<br/>
+ex:b ex:q _:x .</code><br/></p>
+
+<p>describes a graph containing three nodes:</p>
+<p><img src="RDF11SemanticsDiagrams/example3.jpg"></p>
+<p> since the two occurrences of the blank node identifier "<code>_:x</code>" occurring in a common identifier scope identify the same blank node. The four-node union of these two graphs is more properly described by a surface form such as:</p>
+<p><code>ex:a ex:p _:x1 .<br/>
+ex:b ex:q _:x2 .</code></p>
+
+<p>in which the blank node identifiers have been <a>standardize</a>d apart to avoid conflating the distinct blank nodes. (The particular blank node identifiers used have no significance, only that they are distinct.) </p>
+
+<p>It is possible for two or more graphs to share a blank node, for example if they are subgraphs of a single larger graph or derived from a common source. In this case, the union of a set of graphs preserves the identity of blank nodes shared between the graphs. In general, the union of a set of RDF graphs accurately represents the same semantic content as the graphs themselves, whether or not they share blank nodes. </p>
+<p>A related operation, called <dfn>merging</dfn>, takes the union after forcing any shared blank nodes, which occur in more than one graph, to be distinct in each graph. The resulting graph is called the <dfn>merge</dfn>. The merge of subgraphs of a graph may be larger than the original graph. For example, the result of merging the two singleton subgraphs of the three-node graph</p> 
+
+<p><img src="RDF11SemanticsDiagrams/example3.jpg"></p>
+
+<p>is the four-node graph</p>
+
+<p><img src="RDF11SemanticsDiagrams/example4.jpg"></p>
+
+<p>The union is always an instance of the merge. If graphs have no blank nodes in common, then their merge and union are identical. </p>
 
 
-<p>An RDF graph is <dfn id="dfn-lean">lean</dfn> if it has no instance which is 
-  a proper subgraph of the graph. Non-lean graphs have internal redundancy 
-  and express the same content as their lean subgraphs. For example, the graph</p>
-<p><code>&lt;ex:a&gt; &lt;ex:p&gt; _:x .<br>
-  _:y &lt;ex:p&gt; _:x .</code></p>
-<p>is not lean, but</p>
-<p><code>&lt;ex:a&gt; &lt;ex:p&gt; _:x .<br>
-  _:x &lt;ex:p&gt; _:x .</code></p>
-<p>is lean. </p>

+<p class="technote"> RDF graphs can be viewed as conjunctions of simple atomic sentences in first-order logic, where blank nodes are free variables which are understood to be existential.

Taking the union of graphs which share a blank node changes the implied quantifier scopes.

-<p>Simple entailment can be recognized by relatively simple syntactic comparisons.

-<p>Obviously, the union of a set of graphs entails every member of the set, since they are all subgraphs of the union. However, if two or more graphs in the set share a blank node. then the set may fail to entail the union. For example, consider the graphs</p>
-<p>
-<code>:a :p _:x . </code></p>
-<p>and</p>
-<p>
-<code>:b :p _:x .</code></p>
-<p>Both graphs can be satisfied by an interpretation which does not satisfy their union, e.g. one with <br>IEXT(I(<code>:p</code>)) = {&lt; I(<code>:a</code>),I(<code>:a</code>) &gt;, &lt; I(<code>:b</code>),I(<code>:b</code>) &gt; }. This is because the mapping <code>_:x</code>/I(<code>:a</code>) works for the first graph, and the mapping <code>_:x</code>/I(<code>:b</code>) for the second graph, but there is no mapping which works for the combination. Neither graph is obliged to consider the full set of constraints on the blank node that are represented by their union. </p>
+<p>The second property means that a graph is not logically <a>equivalent</a> to its skolemization. Nevertheless, they are in a strong sense almost interchangeable, as shown the next two properties. The third property means that even when conclusions are drawn from the skolemized graph which do contain the new vocabulary, these will exactly mirror what could have been derived from the original graph with the original blank nodes in place. The replacement of blank nodes by IRIs does not effectively alter what can be validly derived from the graph, other than by giving new names to what were formerly anonymous entities. The fourth property, which is a consequence of the third, clearly shows that in some sense  a skolemization of G can "stand in for" G as far as entailments are concerned. Using sk(G) instead of G will not affect any entailments which do not involve the new skolem vocabulary.  </p>

+<p class="changenote">  In the 2004 RDF 1.0 specification, datatype D-entailment was defined as a <a>semantic extension</a> of RDFS-entailment. Here it is defined as a direct extension to basic RDF. This is more in conformity with actual usage, where RDF with datatypes is widely used without the RDFS vocabulary. If there is a need to distinguish this from the 2004 RDF 1.0 terminology, the longer phrasing "simple D-entailment" or "simple datatype entailment" should be used rather than "D-entailment". </p>

The exact mechanism by which an IRI <a title="identify">identifies</a> a datatype IRI is considered to be external to the semantics.

The function <dfn>L2V</dfn> maps datatypes to their lexical-to-value mapping. A literal with datatype d denotes the value obtained by applying this mapping to the character string sss: L2V(d)(sss). If the lexical-to-value mapping gives no value for the literal string, then the literal has no referent. The <dfn>value space</dfn> of a datatype is the range of the <a>lexical-to-value mapping</a>. Every literal with that type either refers to a value in the value space of the type, or fails to refer at all. An  <dfn>ill-typed</dfn> literal is one whose datatype IRI is <a>recognize</a>d, but whose character string is assigned no value by the <a>lexical-to-value mapping</a> for that datatype. </p>
+
+<p> RDF processors are not REQUIRED to <a>recognize</a> any datatype IRIs other than <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-language-tagged-string"><code>rdf:langString</code></a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#string"><code>xsd:string</code></a>, but when IRIs listed in <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-Datatypes">Section 5</a> of [[!RDF11-CONCEPTS]] are <a>recognize</a>d, they MUST be interpreted as described there, and when the IRI <code>rdf:PlainLiteral</code> is <a>recognize</a>d, it MUST be interpreted to refer to the datatype defined in [[!RDF-PLAIN-LITERAL]]. RDF processors MAY recognize other datatype IRIs, but when other datatype IRIs are <a>recognize</a>d, the mapping between a <a>recognize</a>d IRI and the datatype it refers to MUST be specified unambiguously, and MUST be fixed during all RDF transformations or manipulations.</p> 
+
+<p>Literals with <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-language-tagged-string"><code>rdf:langString</code></a> as their datatype are an exceptional case which are given a special treatment. The IRI <code>rdf:langString</code> is classified as a datatype IRI, and interpreted to refer to a datatype, even though no L2V mapping is defined for it. The value space of <code>rdf:langString</code> is the set of all pairs of a string with a language tag. The semantics of literals with this as their type are given below. </p>
+
+<p>RDF literal syntax allows any IRI to be used in a typed literal, even when it is not <a>recognize</a>d as referring to a datatype. Literals with such an "unknown" datatype IRI, which is not in the set of <a>recognize</a>d datatypes, SHOULD NOT be treated as errors, although RDF applications MAY issue a warning. Such literals SHOULD be treated like IRIs and assumed to denote some thing in the universe IR. RDF processors which fail to <a>recognize</a> a datatype IRI will not be able to detect some entailments which are visible to one which does.  For example, the fact that </p><p><code>ex:a ex:p "20.0000"^^xsd:decimal .</code></p><p>entails </p><p><code>ex:a ex:p "20.0"^^xsd:decimal .</code></p><p>will not be visible to a processor which does not <a>recognize</a> the datatype IRI <code>xsd:decimal</code>.</p>

-<p>Skolemization is a transformation on RDF graphs which eliminates blank nodes by replacing them with "new" IRIs, which means IRIs which are coined for this purpose and are therefore guaranteed to not occur in any other RDF graph (at the time of creation).

-<p>The second property means that a graph is not equivalent to its skolemization, so we cannot simply identify them. Nevertheless, they are in a strong sense almost interchangeable, as the next two properties attest. The third property means that even when conclusions are drawn from the skolemized graph which do contain the new vocabulary, these will exactly mirror what could have been derived from the original graph with the original blank nodes in place. The replacement of blank nodes by IRIs does not effectively alter what can be validly derived from the graph, other than by giving new names to what were formerly anonymous entities. The fourth property, which is a consequence of the third, clearly shows that in some sense  a skolemization of G can "stand in for" G as far as entailments are concerned. Using sk(G) instead of G will not affect any entailments which do not involve the new skolem vocabulary.  </p>

We describe this using a parameter D on interpretations. where D is a set of IRIs that constitute the recognized datatype IRIs.

(If datatype L2V mappings were defined on pairs of lexical values rather than strings, then the L2V mapping for <code>rdf:langString</code> would be the identity function on pairs of the form &lt; unicode string, language tag &gt;.

+
+<p>The properties of <a>simple entailment</a> described earlier do not all apply to <a>RDF entail</a>ment. For example, all the RDF axioms are true in every <a>RDF interpretation</a>, and so are <a>RDF entail</a>ed by the empty graph, contradicting <a>interpolation</a> for RDF entailment. </p>

+<section class="informative"><h4>Patterns of RDF entailment (Informative)</h4>
+<p> The last semantic condition in the above table gives the following entailment pattern for <a>recognize</a>d datatype IRIs: </p> 
+
+<div class="tabletitle">RDF entailment pattern.</div> 
+<table  border="1" >
+  <tbody>
+    <tr> 
+      <th > </th>
+      <th ><strong>if S contains</strong></th>
+      <th ><strong>then S RDF entails, recognizing D</strong></th>

+   
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+<p>Note, this is valid even when the literal is <a>ill-typed</a>, since an unsatisfiable graph entails any triple.</p>
+
+<p>For example,</p>
+<p> <code>ex:a ex:p "123"^^xsd:integer .</code></p>
+
+<p>RDF entails recognizing {<code>xsd:integer</code>}</p>
+
+<code>ex:a ex:p _:x . <br/>
+ _:x rdf:type xsd:integer . </code></p>
+
+<p>In addition, the first RDF semantic condition justifies the following entailment pattern:</p>
+
+<table  border="1" >
+  <tbody>
+    <tr> 
+      <th > </th>
+      <th ><strong>if S contains</strong></th>
+      <th ><strong>then S RDF entails, recognizing D</strong></th>
+    </tr>
+   
+    <tr>
+       <td class="othertable"><dfn>rdfD2</dfn></td>
+       <td class="othertable">xxx aaa yyy <code>.</code></td>
+       <td class="othertable">aaa <code>rdf:type rdf:Property .</code> </td>
+    </tr>
+    
+   
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+
+<p>So that the above example also RDF entails</p><p><code>ex:p rdf:type rdf:Property .</code></p><p> recognizing {<code>xsd:integer</code>}.</p>
+
+
+<p>Some datatypes support idiosyncratic entailment patterns which do not hold for other datatypes. For example, </p>
+
+<p><code> ex:a ex:p "true"^^xsd:boolean . <br/>
+ex:a ex:p "false"^^xsd:boolean .<br/>
+ex:v rdf:type xsd:boolean .</code></p>
+
+together RDF entail</p>
+
+<p><code>ex:a ex:p ex:v .</code></p>
+
+<p> recognizing {<code>xsd:boolean</code>}.</p>
+
+<p>In addition, the semantic conditions on value spaces may produce other unsatisfiable graphs. For example, when D contains <code>xsd:integer</code> and <code>xsd:boolean</code>, then the following is <a>RDF unsatisfiable</a> recognizing D:</p>
+
+<p><code>_:x rdf:type xsd:boolean .<br/>
+_:x rdf:type xsd:integer . </code></p>

+<section><h2>RDF Datasets</h2>
+
+<p>An RDF <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-dataset" class="externalDFN">dataset</a> (see [[!RDF11-CONCEPTS]]) is a finite set of RDF graphs each paired with an IRI or blank node called the <strong>graph name</strong>, plus a <strong>default graph</strong>, without a name. Graphs in a single dataset may share blank nodes. The association of graph name IRIs with graphs is used by SPARQL [[RDF-SPARQL-QUERY]] to allow queries to be directed against particular graphs.</p>
+
+<p>Graph names in a dataset may refer to something other than the graph they are paired with. This allows IRI referring to other kinds of entities, such as persons, to be used in a dataset to <a>identify</a> graphs of information relevant to the entity <a>denote</a>d by the graph name IRI.</p>
+
+<p>When a graph name is used inside RDF triples in a dataset it may or may not refer to the graph it names. The semantics does not require, nor should RDF engines presume, without some external reason to do so, that graph names used in RDF triples refer to the graph they name.</p>
+
+<p>RDF datasets MAY be used to express RDF content. When used in this way, a dataset SHOULD be understood to have at least the same content as its default graph. Note however that replacing the default graph of a dataset by a logically equivalent graph will not in general produce a structurally similar dataset, since it may for example disrupt co-occurrences of blank nodes between the default graph and other graphs in the dataset, which may be important for reasons other than the semantics of the graphs in the dataset.</p>
+
+<p>Other <a>semantic extension</a>s and <a>entailment regime</a>s MAY place further semantic conditions and restrictions on RDF datasets, just as with RDF graphs.  One such extension, for example, could set up a modal-like interpretation structure so that entailment between datasets would require RDF graph entailments between the graphs with the same name (adding in empty graphs as required).</p>

+
+<p>(<em>This section is based on work described more fully in </em>[[HORST04]]<em>, </em>[[HORST05]]<em>, which should be consulted for technical details and proofs.</em>) </p>
+<p> The RDF and RDFS entailment patterns listed in the above tables can be viewed as left-to-right rules which add the entailed conclusion to a graph. These rule sets can be used to check RDF (or RDFS) entailment between graphs S and E, by the following sequence of operations:</p>
+<p>1. Add to S all the RDF (or RDF and RDFS) axiomatic triples except those containing the container membership property IRIs <code>rdf:_1, rdf:_2, ...</code>.<br/>
+2. For every container membership property IRI which occurs in E, add the RDF (or RDF and RDFS) axiomatic triples which contain that IRI.<br/>
+3. Apply the RDF (or RDF and RDFS) inference patterns as rules, adding each conclusion to the graph, to exhaustion; that is, until they generate no new triples. <br/>
+4. Determine if E has an instance which is a subset of the set, i.e. whether the enlarged set simply entails E.</p>
+
+This process is clearly <a>correct</a>, in that if it gives a positive result then indeed S does RDF (RDFS) entail E. It is not, however, <a>complete</a>: there are cases of S entailing E which are not detectable by this process. Examples include:</p>

+<code>ex:d rdf:type ex:c .</code> by <a>rdfs2</a></p>
+
+<p>Where the entailment patterns have been applied to generalized RDF syntax but yield a final conclusion which is legal RDF. </p>
+
+<p>With the generalized syntax, these rules are complete for both RDF and RDFS entailment. Stated exactly:</p>
+<p>Let S and E be RDF graphs. Define the <dfn>generalized RDF (RDFS) closure</dfn> <strong>of S towards E</strong> to be the set obtained by the following procedure.</p>
+<p>1. Add to S all the RDF (and RDFS) axiomatic triples which do not contain any container membership property IRI.<br/>
+2. For each container membership property IRI which occurs in E, add the RDF (and RDFS) axiomatic triples which contain that IRI.<br/>
+3. If no triples were added in step 2., add the RDF (and RDFS) axiomatic triples which contain <code>rdf:_1</code>. <br/>
+4. Apply the rules <a>GrdfD1</a> and <a>rdfD2</a> (and the rules <a>rdfs1</a> through <a>rdfs13</a>), with D={<code>rdf:langString</code>, <code>xsd:string</code>), to the set in all possible ways, to exhaustion. </p>
+
+<p>Then we have the completeness result:</p>
+<p class="fact">If S is RDF (RDFS) consistent, then S RDF entails (RDFS entails) E just when the <a>generalized RDF (RDFS) closure</a> of S towards E simply entails E.</em> </p> 
+
+<p>The closures are finite. The generation process is decidable and of polynomial complexity. Detecting simple entailment is NP-complete in general, but of low polynomial order when E contains no blank nodes. </p>
+
+<p>Every RDF(S) closure, even starting with the empty graph, will contain all RDF(S) tautologies which can be expressed using the vocabulary of the original graph plus the RDF and RDFS vocabularies. In practice there is little utility in re-deriving these, and a subset of the rules can be used to establish most entailments of practical interest. </p>
+
+<p>If it is important to stay within legal RDF syntax, rule <a>rdfD1</a> may be used instead of <a>GrdfD1</a>, and the introduced blank node can be used as a substitute for the literal in subsequent derivations. The resulting set of rules will not however be complete.</p>
+
+<p>As noted earlier, detecting datatype entailment for larger sets of datatype IRIs requires attention to idiosyncratic properties of the particular datatypes.</p>

+</section>
+ 
+<section class="appendix" class="informative"><h2  id="finite_interpretations">Finite interpretations (Informative)</h2>
+<p>To keep the exposition simple, the RDF semantics has been phrased in a way which requires interpretations to be larger than absolutely necessary. For example, all interpretations are required to interpret the whole IRI vocabulary, and the universes of all D-interpretations must contain all possible strings and therefore be infinite. This appendix sketches, without proof, how to re-state the semantics using smaller semantic structures, without changing any entailments. </p>
+
+<p>Basically, it is only necessary for an interpretation structure to interpret the <a>name</a>s actually used in the graphs whose entailment is being considered, and to consider interpretations whose universes are at most as big as the number of names and blank nodes in the graphs.  More formally, we can define a <dfn>pre-interpretation</dfn> over a <a>vocabulary</a> V to be a structure I similar to a <a>simple interpretation</a> but with a mapping only from V to its universe IR.  Then when determining whether G entails E, consider only pre-interpretations over the finite vocabulary of <a>name</a>s actually used in G union E. The universe of such a pre-interpretation can be restricted to the cardinality N+B+1, where N is the size of the vocabulary and B is the number of blank nodes in the graphs. Any such pre-interpretation may be extended to <a>simple interpretation</a>s, all of which which will give the same truth values for any triples in G or E. Satisfiability, entailment and so on can then be defined with respect to these finite pre-interpretations, and shown to be identical to the ideas defined in the body of the specification.</p>
+
+<p>When considering D-entailment, pre-interpretations may be kept finite by weakening the semantic conditions for datatyped literals so that IR need contain literal values only for literals which actually occur in G or E, and the size of the universe restricted to (N+B)×(D+1), where D is the number of recognized datatypes. (A tighter bound is possible.) For RDF entailment, only the finite part of the RDF vocabulary which includes those container membership properties which actually occur in the graphs need to be interpreted, and the second RDF semantic condition is weakened to apply only to values which are values of literals which actually occur in the vocabulary. For RDFS interpretations, again only that finite part of the infinite container membership property vocabulary which actually occurs in the graphs under consideration needs to be interpreted. In all these cases, a pre-interpretation of the vocabulary of a graph may be extended to a full interpretation of the appropriate type without changing the truth-values of any triples in the graphs.</p>
+
+<p>The whole semantics could be stated in terms of pre-interpretations, yielding the same entailments, and allowing finite RDF graphs to be interpreted in finite structures, if the <em>finite model property</em> is considered important.

IR contains the <a>name</a>s and blank nodes which occur in the graph, with I(n)=n for each <a>name</a> n; n is in IP and &lt;a, b&gt; in IEXT(n) just when the triple &lt;a n b&gt; is in the graph. (For IRIs which do not occur in the graph, assign them values in IR at random.) I satisfies every triple &lt;s p o&gt; in E; that is, for some mapping A from the blank nodes of E to the vocabulary of G, the triple &lt;[I+A](s) I(p) [I+A](o)&gt; occurs in G. But this is an instance of &lt;s p o&gt; under the instance mapping A; so an instance of E is a subgraph of G. QED.</p>
+
+<p class="fact">if E is lean and E' is a proper instance of E, then E does not entail E'.</p>
+<p>Suppose E entails E', then a subgraph of E is an instance of E', which is a proper instance of E; so a subgraph of E is a proper instance of E, so E is not lean. QED.</p>
+<p class="fact">If E contains an IRI which does not occur in S, then S does not entail E.</p>

+<p>The skolemization mapping sk substitutes a unique new IRI for each blank node, so it is 1:1, so has an inverse. Define ks to be the inverse mapping which replaces each skolem IRI by the blank node it replaced. Since sk(G) entails H, a subgraph of sk(G) is an instance of H, say A(H) for some instance mapping A on the blank nodes in H. Then ks(A(H)) is a subgraph of G; and ks(A(H))=A(ks(H)) since the domains of A and ks are disjoint. So ks(H) has an instance which is a subgraph of G, so is entailed by G; and H=sk(ks(H)). QED.</p>
+
+<p class="fact">For any graph H which does not contain any of the "new" IRIs introduced into sk(G), sk(G) simply entails H if and only if G simply entails H.</p>
+<p>Using the terminology in the previous proof: if H does not contain any skolem IRIs, then H=ks(H). So if sk(G) entails H then G entails ks(H)=H; and if G entails H then sk(G) entails G entails H, so sk(G) entails H. QED.</p>

-<p>Although the definitions of <a href="#glossConsistent" class="termref">consistency</a>

-  a meaning which implicitly refers to the context of use. Examples from English 
-  include words like 'here', 'now', 'this'.</p>
-<p><strong><a id="glossInference"></a>Infer</strong><strong>ence</strong> (n.) An act or 
-  process of constructing new expressions from existing expressions, or the result 
-  of such an act or process. Inferences corresponding to <a href="#glossEntail" class="termref">entailments</a> are described as <em>correct</em> or <em>valid</em>.

-    <p><strong><a id="glossIntensional"></a>Intensional</strong> (adj., of a logic)
-    Not <a href="#glossExtensional" class="termref">extensional</a>. A
-    logic which allows distinct entities with the same extension.</p>
-
-    
-<p>(The merits and demerits of intensionality have been extensively debated in 
-  the philosophical logic literature. Extensional semantic theories are simpler, 
-  and conventional semantics for formal logics usually assume an extensional view, 
-  but conceptual analysis of ordinary language often suggests that intensional 
-  thinking is more natural. Examples often cited are that an extensional logic 
-  is obliged to treat all 'empty' extensions as identical, so must identify 'round 
-  square' with 'santa clause', and is unable to distinguish concepts that 'accidentally' 
-  have the same instances, such as human beings and bipedal hominids without body 
-  hair. The semantics described in this document is basically intensional.)</p>
-
-    <p><strong><a id="glossInterpretation"></a>Interpretation</strong>
-    (<strong>of</strong>) (n.) A minimal formal description of those
-    aspects of a <a href="#glossWorld" class="termref">world</a> which
-    is just sufficient to establish the truth or falsity of any
-    expression of a logic.</p>
-
-    <p>(Some logic texts distinguish between an <em>interpretation
-    structure</em>, which is a 'possible world' considered as something
-    independent of any particular vocabulary, and an <em>interpretation
-    mapping</em> from a vocabulary into the structure. The RDF
-    semantics takes the simpler route of merging these into a single
-    concept.)</p>
-
-    <p><strong><a id="glossLogic"></a>Logic</strong>
-    (n.) A formal language which expresses <a href="#glossProposition" class="termref">propositions</a>.</p>

-    Concerned with the true nature of things in some absolute or

-
-    <p><a id="glossModeltheory"></a><strong>Model Theory</strong> (n.) A
-    formal semantic theory which relates expressions to
-    interpretations.</p>
-
-    <p>(The name 'model theory' arises from the usage, traditional in
-    logical semantics, in which a satisfying interpretation is called a
-    "model". This usage is often found confusing, however, as it is
-    almost exactly the inverse of the meaning implied by terms like
-    "computational modelling", so has been avoided in this
-    document.)</p>
-
-    <p><strong><a id="glossMonotonic"></a>Monotonic</strong> (adj., of a logic or
-    inference system) Satisfying the condition that if S entails E then
-    (S + T) entails E, i.e. adding information to some antecedents
-    cannot invalidate a <a href="#glossValid" class="termref">valid</a> entailment.</p>
-
-    <p>(All logics based on a conventional <a href="#glossModeltheory" class="termref">model theory</a> and a standard notion of
-    entailment are monotonic. Monotonic logics have the property that
-    entailments remain <a href="#glossValid" class="termref">valid</a> outside of the context in which they were
-    generated. This is why RDF is designed to be monotonic.)</p>
-
-    <p><strong><a id="glossNonmonotonic"></a>Nonmonotonic</strong> (adj.,of a logic
-    or inference system) Not <a href="#glossMonotonic" class="termref">monotonic</a>. Non-monotonic formalisms have been
-    proposed and used in AI and various applications. Examples of
-    nonmonotonic inferences include <em>default reasoning</em>, where
-    one assumes a 'normal' general truth unless it is contradicted by
-    more particular information (birds normally fly, but penguins
-    don't fly); <em>negation-by-failure</em>, commonly assumed in logic
-    programming systems, where one concludes, from a failure to prove a
-    proposition, that the proposition is false; and <em>implicit
-    closed-world assumptions</em>, often assumed in database
-    applications, where one concludes from a lack of information about
-    an entity in some corpus that the information is false (e.g. that
-    if someone is not listed in an employee database, that he or she is not
-    an employee.)</p>
-
-    <p>(The relationship between monotonic and nonmonotonic inferences
-    is often subtle. For example, if a closed-world assumption is made
-    explicit, e.g. by asserting explicitly that the corpus is complete
-    and providing explicit provenance information in the conclusion,
-    then closed-world reasoning is monotonic; it is the implicitness
-    that makes the reasoning nonmonotonic. Nonmonotonic conclusions can
-    be said to be <a href="#glossValid" class="termref">valid</a> only in some kind of 'context', and are liable
-    to be incorrect or misleading when used outside that context.
-    Making the context explicit in the reasoning and visible in the
-    conclusion is a way to map them into a monotonic framework.)</p>
-
-    <p><strong><a id="glossOntological"></a>Ontological</strong> (adj.) (Philosophy)
-    Concerned with what kinds of things really exist. (Applied)
-    Concerned with the details of a formal description of some topic or

-
-    <p><strong><a id="glossProposition"></a>Proposition</strong> (n.) Something that
-    has a truth-value; a statement or expression that is true or
-    false.</p>
-
-    <p>(Philosophical analyses of language traditionally distinguish
-    propositions from the expressions which are used to state them, but
-    model theory does not require this distinction.)</p>
-
-    <p><strong><a id="glossReify"></a>Reify</strong>
-    (v.), <strong>reification</strong> (n.) To categorize as an object;
-    to describe as an entity. Often used to describe a convention
-    whereby a syntactic expression is treated as a semantic object and
-    itself described using another syntax. In RDF, a reified triple is
-    a description of a triple-token using other RDF triples.</p>
-
-    <p><strong><a id="glossResource"></a>Resource</strong> (n.)(as used in RDF)(i) An

-    <strong>satisfaction</strong>,(n.) <strong>satisfying</strong>
-    (adj., of an interpretation). To make true. The basic semantic

-    satisfies Y means that if <a href="#glossWorld" class="termref">the

-    true.</p>
-
-    <p><strong><a id="glossSemantic"></a>Semantic</strong> (adj.) ,
