      at "/MarkLogic/semantics.xqy";

let $person1 := sem:bnode()
let $person2 := sem:bnode()
let $t1 := sem:triple($person1,
         sem:iri("http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type"),
	       sem:iri("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person"))
let $t2 := sem:triple($person2,
	       sem:iri("http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type"),
	       sem:iri("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person"))
let $t3 := sem:triple($person1,
	       sem:iri("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows"), $person2) return ($t1,$t2,$t3)
