Adds a definition for "IRI reference". #57
Conversation
We had defined "IRI" and "relative IRI reference", but not "IRI reference. This allows other specs to refer to RDF Concepts for all such terms.

Unrelated: should that be "triples"?

I wouldn't argue with changing ordering of statements but given that this is talking about ways to encode the same <a>RDF graph</a> or <a>RDF dataset</a>, I think it must become ordering of triples and/or quads or possibly ordering of triples (and/or quads).
I see no strong reason not to make that tiny additional change within this PR, but if anyone objects to that, I ask that you create an issue referencing this discussion.

Changed to "triples". "quads" aren't appropriate in this context, and N-Quads actually uses "statements" in some circumstances where N-Triples uses "triples". In this context, "triples" is correct.

That would be tricky. Quads only appear in non-normative 4.3.
The definition of RDF Datasets is about graphs, and those graphs are sets of triples.
We had defined "IRI" and "relative IRI reference", but not "IRI reference. This allows other specs to refer to RDF Concepts for all such terms.
For #20.
