an article that helped me compare between RDF and property graphs (the model of databases like Neo4J and others): http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2018/04/reification-is-a-red-herring.html

since you are talking abou t"servers" I'm guessing it could be an interested read to you since it talks about practical/real world data modeling

There’s been movement on reification in RDF since then in that there’s a proposed set of standards RDF*/SPARQL*/Turtle* etc that support edge properties. Whats more at least 4 RDF databases already claim support for it (including stardog), and RDF4j has experimental support available in their native store and memory store implementations too. https://rdf4j.org/documentation/programming/rdfstar/ Reification would definitely be nice in some instances, but you can get by easily enough without it. Also RDF* is not RDF; so I’d be wary of it introducing interop problems, and a more complex data model.

found this thread which answers some questions about addressability and compares RDF* with named graphs https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-star/2020Feb/thread.html
