Hi Bo,

yes it definitely has something in common. Would you please mind pointing 
me to some explanations, why reification is considered so harmful?

I see some interesting points there, namely

The subject of a reification

it seems worth the attention at the very least. And also

Since the relation between triples and reification

This seems interesting to me. Also I like dictionary approach like in RDF 
HDT format <http://www.rdfhdt.org/technical-specification/#triples>. What 
do you think about this combination as a basic data model?

WBR,
Andrii
