023/**
024 * A generalized quad representation.
025 * <p>
026 * A <em>generalized quad</em> is a quad-like object which allow any
027 * {@link RDFTerm} type for its {@link #getSubject()}, {@link #getPredicate()}
028 * {@link #getObject()} and {@link #getGraphName()}. This might be useful with
029 * some serializations like JSON-LD.
030 * <p>
031 * Note that unlike {@link Quad}, this type does not have fixed semantics for
032 * {@link Object#equals(Object)} or {@link Object#hashCode()} beyond object
033 * identity.
