If the differing named graphs are located in different web documents, then RIF with RDF compatibility (see [2]) has an import mechanism that can be directed to the specific web documents and reason about them. More refined notions of import that allow to explicitly refer to facts from different imported documents per rule could be covered in extended RIF dialects.
