A pragmatic approach to storing and distributing RDF in context using Snippets

RDF, hash, context, Snippet, immutability, distribution, security While RDF provides a powerful means to store knowledge, it can be cumbersome to represent and query collections of statements in context. To this end, we introduce a new higherlevel object, the Snippet, to hold a fragment of RDF that is about a single subject and made within a particular context. Each snippet may be represented in a standard form as a bag of reified statements or in a non-standard compact form using many fewer triples.
