I agree. (02)
Hayes and Guha specified the semantics of RDF as a subset of the CL
model theory. Pat summarized his suggestions for generalizing RDF
to support full FOL: (03)

I went to Gregg R's site: http://blog.mobileink.com/ (05)
He uses logical symbols and rewrite rules to make it look impressive,
but he concludes (06)

In other words, he was blowing smoke. In his talk, Pat showed that the
only addition you need to RDF is an enclosure that negates any graphs
or subgraphs inside. That was Peirce's addition to his original
relational graphs that created full FOL. (08)

No. Peirce came up with the idea about 30 years earlier. In fact,
Peirce's rules of inference for existential graph are a *simplification*
and *generalization* of Gentzen's system of natural deduction. Peirce
didn't anticipate Gentzen's system, he *improved* it. (010)
For Peirce's own tutorial on existential graphs with my commentary and
with a proof that Gentzen's version is a special case of Peirce's, see (011)

In Section 6, I also prove some interesting theorems. Among them is the
fact that Robinson's rules for resolution are derived rules of inference
from Peirce's. From that, I show that any proof by resolution can be
converted to a proof by Peirce's version of natural deduction just by
negating each step and reversing the order. (013)
