It's enough to get the context (aka minimum self contained graph, aka symmetric concise bounded description), this is what impl.sparql in clerezza commons RDF does. That's why if we have to assign a string identifier to it this would have to be a strong digest of this context graph and an indicator of the position of the node within it. Cheers, Reto
