title: Rdf duplicate triples
body: <p>I have a question a about RDF and duplicate triples. From perusing the internet it seems as if duplicate triples are somehow "bad" or a violation of some rule. </p>
  
  <p>But duplicate triples seem to me, on the surface, meaningful. </p>
  
  <p>Suppose I want to represent the fact: 
       Susy(subject) mentions(predicate) Bob(object). </p>
  
  <p>Suppose that I further wanted to represent that <code>Susy mentions Bob</code> on five times. Wouldn't have 5 triples of <code>Susy mentions Bob</code> allow me to represents this? </p>
  
  <p>A later query that wants to know how many times Susy mentioned Bob could just ask for the <code>COUNT</code> of this repeated triple. </p>
  
  <p>So my question is: is there anything wrong with this representation of the fact that <code>Susy mentions Bob five time</code>. And if so, what would be the preferred way of representing that the fact that Susy mentions Bob five times.</p>
