<p>As of 2020 you can use RDF* as follows:</p>
<p>&lt;&lt; :Tolkien :wrote :LordOfTheRings &gt;&gt; :said :Wikipedia .</p>
<p>In 2020 many leading triple stores implemented this approach. There are also tools to convert standard reification to RDF* to reduce triple bloat. This approach is efficient in terms of the number of triples and the speed to load data, as reported by Ontotext’s GraphDB Triple store as well as several others.</p>
<p>You can read about the origins of this approach here <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.3399.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.3399.pdf</a></p>
Simple example of reification in RDF
<p>Could anybody be so kind to give me a simple example of reification in RDF? I want to see if I understood it correctly.</p>

<p>For example, I propose the following case</p>

<pre><code>Tolkien -&gt; wrote -&gt; Lord of the rings
           /|\
            |
        Wikipedia said that
</code></pre>

<p>How would you write it <em>with</em> and <em>without</em> reification (i.e. as a simple RDF statement with no need for reification)?</p>
