Thanks Denny,
Yes, I understand that o:Fact is an inaccurate name. I have been trying to think of an alternative to Statement (assertion, claim, declaration etc.) but can't think of anything better than Statement :)
It should be very clear that it is different to rdf:Statement with time.

We are reluctant, but open, to renaming it. But not to "Fact". Statement has the nice ambiguous quality regarding its correctness which Fact lacks.
On the other hand, the similarity to rdf:Statement is not merely syntactic, so I do not see too much of an issue here.

Hello,
My colleague Yves Raimond and myself were just having a quick chat about the Wikidata RDF serialisation plans.

While the reification makes sense, we thought that it looked a bit too much like rdf:Statement.
w:Berlin s:Population Berlin:Statement1 .
Berlin:Statement1 rdf:type o:Statement .
Perhaps you could rename o:Statement to o:Fact instead?
