The jury is still out on the question whether referring to an RDF* triple also asserts the triple. Therefore in some
RDF* implementations you need to assert it explicitly if you need to have it as a direct triple, similar to the
RDF Reification example below:

```
:x :p :y.
<<:x :p :y>> bl:publication <http://identifiers.org/pmid/123>.
```

(For example, GraphDB's RDF* does not assert automatically.)

See [biolink:Association](../docs/Association) for a taxonomy of associations defined by the model, and
to see a list of generic properties that are associated with an edge.
