Remarks

Primarily designed for internal use in some of our code but may prove useful to other users hence is a public class. Internally this is just a wrapper around a TripleStore instance.

The main usage for this class is scenarios where consistent graph references matter such as returning node references from out of memory datasets (like SQL backed ones) particularly with regards to blank nodes since blank node equality is predicated upon Graph reference.
