You could argue that a full understanding of lexicalRep would have these two graphs each extended-RDF-entailing the other: John age "5" . John age _:x. _:x lexicalRep "5" . as long as everyone agrees that "5" is universally recognizable as being a lexical representation, even when it just occurs 'naked', as in the first graph. Then the content of the second graph could be conveyed by the first one.
