named graphs

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

In semantic web technologies a named graph is a collection of RDF triples (a graph) that is named by a URI. Several named graphs can then be stored as graph–subject–predicate–object tuples in a quadstore. Named graphs allow meta-level reasoning such as asking, "can it be determined from graph G whether A is a subclass of B", and also provenance by using RDF tuples that descibe the graph.
