"In the Fuseki case, we want shared datasets descriptions, that is, same name, to 
yield the same dataset."

Wouldn't we rather use actual URIs to refer to dataset descriptions to make them 
coincide? Is the use of names as inverse functional properties to do this a 
historical artifact of the way that assembler RDF evolved, or was there some reason 
to do it this way instead of using something more like "same URI = same thing”?

A name is something that identifies. IFPs are one way but where the "name" here is the subject of the description (which can be a blank node or URI).


    fuseki:dataset   <#dataset> ;
<#dataset> rdf:type ja:RDFDataset



 fuseki:dataset [ rdf:type ja:RDFDataset ;
                  ...
                ] ;
