RDF* is for an individual triple. It's a localised change to RDF that
leaves the rest of RDF alone.
If you want groups of triples, named graphs give you a mechanism to do that.
You could do it via the data model to share the annotations:
<< :john :name "John" >> :annotatedBy :X .
<< :john :age 20 >> :annotatedBy :X .
:X dct:source ex:source .
<<>> is a new kind of RDF term
in N3, graphs ("formula"s) are be RDF terms but in plain RDF, a graph is
not a component of a graph. N3 graphs are a whole different world.
A use case is to have the annotations in one graph about triples in
another (wikidata). Using named graphs and putting one triple in the
graph has (many times!) been suggested; the counter argument is that it
is a waste of named graph to do that.
RDF* grew out of wanting a labelled property graph like feature.

All the examples online about RDF* use a one-triple term, like this (taken from
Fuseki docs)

I wonder if there is any way in Turtle* to apply the same properties to
multiple terms at once? Something like this
<< :john :name "John"; :age 20 >> dct:source ex:source .
Or do I have to write every term one by one? I couldn't find any documentation
about this.
