data structures - What's a RDF triple? -


in layman's terms, what's rdf triple?

i think question needs split 2 parts - triple , makes "rdf triple" special?

firstly, triple is, of other commenters here have pointed out statement in "subject/predicate/object" form - i.e. stament linking 1 object (subject) object(object) or literal. via predicate. familiar triples: triple smallest irreducible representation binary relationship. in plain speak: spreadsheet collection of triples: e.g. if column in spreadsheet has heading "paul" , row has heading "has sister" , value in cell is, example, "lisa", here have triple: paul (subject) has sister(predicate) lisa (literal/object).

what makes rdf triples special every part of triple has uri associated it, everyday statement "mike smith knows john doe" might represented in rdf as:

uri://people#mikesmith12 http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows uri://people#johndoe45 

the analogy spreadsheet giving every part of uri unique address, give cell in spreadsheet whole address space....so in principle stick every cell (if expressed in rdf triples) in spreadsheet different document on different server etc , reconstitute spreadsheet through single query.

edit: this section of official documentation addresses original question.
