⊟ Remarks

Blank nodes are a type of SemWeb.Entity that have no globally unique identifier. Two blank node instances are generally references to distinct nodes in a graph, unless they were created in the same SemWeb.StatementSource which marked them as being equivalent.

The SemWeb.Variable class is a subclass of the BNode class. Variables are used for queries. Variable names are accessible through the LocalName property.

The following example creates a new blank node.

C# Example

BNode node = new BNode();
