Surely the "where" is "up to the application"? I must not be
understanding your question precisely.

We need to be careful about assuming typed properties as a given,
because that is most convenient for an OO program or an OO database.
Maybe some programs don't want the overhead of making every node an
object.

I don't see why "losing" anything is necessary. Network administrators,
for example, use graphs to FIND things, exactly because graphs are
isomorphic (the same shape as) their networks. Again, I must not be
understanding your question precisely.
