How do I write a sparql insert with reification?

Question

I pulled this example right from this question.

Given this statement how should the sparql insert query be written?

GEORGE SAYS-THAT 'ROVER IS-A DOG'
STMTID  IS-A STATEMENT
STMTID  HAS-SUBJECT ROVER
STMTID  HAS-PREDICATE IS-A
STMTID  HAS-OBJECT DOG
GEORGE  SAYS-THAT STMTID

I am completely lost as to how to accomplish this task.

If I understand you, you're just looking for a concrete insert command that would create those triples for you. You could use:

prefix ex: <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27845314/>
prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>

insert data { 
  ex:George ex:says [ a rdf:Statement ;
                      rdf:subject ex:Rover ;
                      rdf:predicate rdf:type ;
                      rdf:object ex:Dog ]
}
