+    <h4>Replacing Blank Nodes with IRIs</h4>
+
+    <p>Blank nodes do not have identifiers in the RDF abstract syntax. The
+    <a title="blank node identifier">blank node identifiers</a> introduced
+    by some concrete syntaxes have only
+    local scope and are purely an artifact of the serialization.</p>
+
+    <p>In situations where stronger identification is needed, systems MAY
+    systematically transform some or all of the blank nodes in an RDF graph
+    into IRIs [[!IRI]].  Systems wishing to do this SHOULD mint a new, globally
+    unique IRI (a <dfn>Skolem IRI</dfn>) for each blank node so transformed.</p>
+
+    <p>This transformation does not change the meaning of an RDF graph,
+    provided that the Skolem IRIs do not occur anywhere else.</p>
+
+    <p>Systems may wish to mint Skolem IRIs in such a way that they can
+    recognize the IRIs as having been introduced solely to replace a blank
+    node, and map back to the source blank node where possible.</p>
+
+    <p>Systems that want Skolem IRIs to be recognizable outside of the system
+    boundaries SHOULD use a well-known IRI [[WELL-KNOWN]] with the registered
+    name <code>genid</code>. This is an IRI that uses the HTTP or HTTPS scheme,
+    or another scheme that has been specified to use well-known IRIs; and whose
+    path component starts with <code>/.well-known/genid/</code>.
+
+    <p>For example, the authority responsible for the domain
+    <code>example.com</code> could mint the following recognizable Skolem IRI:</p>
+
+    <pre>http://example.com/.well-known/genid/d26a2d0e98334696f4ad70a677abc1f6</pre>
+
+    <p class="note">IETF registration of the <code>genid</code> name is
+    currently in progress.</p>
+
+    <p class="note">RFC 5785 [[WELL-KNOWN]] only specifies well-known URIs,
+    not IRIs. For the purpose of this document, a well-known IRI is any
+    IRI that results in a well-known URI after IRI-to-URI mapping [[!IRI]].</p>
