OK, then use the same.

I believe the RDF specification [1].

You can choose between the two representations, you can consider
them equivalent, but they do not generate the same statements. I tried
with Jena time ago, and the result looks different.

What do you mean by compact versus verbose? Are you claiming that
the same RDF data can be represented by different sets of statements?
Or that the same statements are sometimes a bag and sometimes not? Or
what exactly are you claiming?

Take care
Oliver
