             Summary: Separate use of AnonId : keepin RDf API, introduce BlankNodeId for Graph SPI
                 Key: JENA-986
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-986
             Project: Apache Jena
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: Jena 3.0.0
            Reporter: Andy Seaborne
            Assignee: Andy Seaborne


{{AnonId}} is a classed used in both the RDF API and the Graph SPI.  It resides in the RDF API package which blocks separating of the Graph SPI from the RDF API.

The proposal is to 

# introduce {{BlankNodeId}} as the Graph SPI concept and keep {{AnonId}} as the application-visible class.
# Introduce a factory operation to create from a string label as the vast majority of uses of {{NodeFactory.createAnon}} do in fact wrap a string in an AnonId to pass it to {{NodeFactory.createAnon}}. The use case is parsers and related persistent data to java object construction.
# Rename {{NodeFactory.createAnon}} as {{NodeFactory.createBlankNode}} for consistent naming (leaving deprecated versions in place).
