OK, I try to make this clear.  The use case is to be able to simply identify with a SPARQL query and/or count "unreferenced statements" using fastRangeCount.  
How do we do this with the current implementation?  

What this gains is a useful method for measuring data quality that does not exist now (as far as I can understand).  And, it could also provide a stable URI (UUID) for references that would fix the questionable use of the "unstable" reference hash as a resource URI and facilitate the implementation of reusability for them.  

Thanks,
Christopher

Hi!

We considered using RDR but decided against it because RDR is not
standard and existing tools and libraries would not understand it. So in
the interest of better data integration we decided to use regular RDF
representation that can be queries by standard SPARQL.

I'm not sure I understand - what would doing this earn us? This looks
like just adding one more join to the lookups.
