| <p>A <dfn>quad</dfn> is a conceptual projection of a <a>triple</a> with | ||
| either the <a>default graph</a> or a <a>named graph</a>. | ||
| A <a>quad</a> is the generalization of a <a>triple</a> |

I also find the phrasing of the first sentence not so suitable. It is not really clear what a "conceptual projection" is.
My definition would be:
A <dfn>quad</dfn> is a <a>triple</a> associated with an optional <a>graph name</a> and
is used when referring to triples within an <a>RDF dataset</a>.
Using that definition as the first paragraph of the section, as the next paragraph I would put the sentence about "An RDF dataset can be .." (as given in Andy's comment below).
As third paragraph I would then use the following adaptation of the paragraph about quads versus triples.
Although a <a>quad</a> without a graph name consists of the same three components as
a <a>triple</a>, it is a distinct concept, as it specifically captures the notion of
a triple within the <a>default graph</a> of an <a>RDF dataset</a>.
| indicating a named graph containing that <a>triple</a>. | ||
| </p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>A <a>quad</a> can be represented as a tuple composed of <a>subject</a>, <a>predicate</a>, <a>object</a>, |

That works because when the text says "subject" it has to be subject of something - the triple.

Thanks, the original was a bit rushed, as I had the dual goal of trying something for PR Preview, which seems to be fixed now. I've applied the suggestions from above, although I did keep the second sentence, which I find useful. Of course, let me know if you feel otherwise. |
Fixes #5.
