statement that contradicts another statement, whether asserted or not.</p>
</div>

<p>Note that a <a>triple term</a> may also have another <a>triple term</a> as an <a>object</a>.</p>

<div class="note">
<p>This document advises the reader to understand that
an assertion on a reified triple
is an assertion on an asserted triple of the same form,
if such a triple occurs in a graph as both a reified triple
and an asserted triple.
However, this understanding is not backed by the model-theoretic semantics
as laid out in RDF 1.2 Semantics;
i.e., co-reference is not defined via a model-theoretic formalisation of
<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf12-concepts/#dfn-denote">denotation</a>,
but relies on an operational semantics of
<a href="https://w3c.github.io/rdf-semantics/spec/#dfn-identify">identification</a>,
established via best practices, examples, and convention
in this document, RDF 1.2 Primer, and RDF 1.2 Note on triple terms (tbd).</p>
