The RDF* specification is nearing completion, Will Graphviz support RDF* in the future?

I don’t really know what RDF* is. What would Graphviz supporting RDF look like?
Dear Mark:
RDF* is very useful for Graph data describe.
It would be great if we can use Graphviz to present RDF data.
For RDF *, please have a look at:
https://enterprise-knowledge.com/rdf-what-is-it-and-why-do-i-need-it/
or W3C specification at:
RDF-star and SPARQL-star

Help, what would it mean for Graphviz to support RDF*?
Based on a very quick read, RDF* is a data-modeling language with (at least) 4 defined syntaxes (!) and SPARQL* is a query language against a database created from RDF* statements.
If there was a standard for visualization, it might make sense for someone to create an RDF* engine or front-end - but there does not seem to be any specification for visual (graph) representations.
A Google search does show that there several RDF-to-dot programs available, including rdf2dot.

yes, steveroush, You remind me that this task should be solved by applications like rdf2dot, not Graphviz. I have submitted an issue to the author.
Thank you!
It’s pretty unclear to me what the motivation is. Perhaps it’s clear in your mind – some examples might make it clearer to the people here, who have probably never heard of RDF* and have no idea what it does
RDF* is very useful for Graph data describe.
How is it useful? What problem does it solve?

Why would it be great?
Mark, RDF* greatly facilitates modeling and analysis of graph databases, It is also very useful for the exchange of graphs, the following two articles may be helpful for a quick understanding of RDF*:
