Sparql query with Blank node can be complex

Viewed 3009

I read this blog article, Problems of the RDF model: Blank Nodes, and there's mentioned that using blank nodes can complicate the handling of data.

Can you give me an example why using blank nodes is difficult to perform a SPARQL query? I do not understand the complexity of blank nodes. Can you explain me the meaning and semantics of an existential variable? I do not understand clearly this explanation given in the RDF Semantics Recommendation, 1.5. Blank Nodes as Existential Variables.
