Hi Reto,

Sorry I don't have time to reply fully, but I repeat what I said
earlier that it is most unusual for any RDF database to just store one
triple in that case. In the context of Java, if you create 5 BlankNode
objects and add them to the database as part of Triples, then the
database should store 5 BlankNodes references and internally make sure
that they are distinct.

Do you have examples of other RDF database systems that operate
according to the Clerezza principle?

Cheers,

Peter
