@pietercolpaert,

Does that all breakdown as follows?

[1] Sentence --> a triple
[2] Paragraph --> a collection of triples pegged to a common predicate
[3] Page --> named graph in SPARQL
[4] Blank Node -- indefinite pronoun for denoting the subject of object of a triple

What do you think?

/cc @hochstenbach

@pietercolpaert ,

Yes.

A page is an observable thing with discernible attributes that can be expressed in descriptive sentences.

Anyway, are we in agreement regarding 1-4?

@hochstenbach

@kidehen @hochstenbach I find it hard to not agree with you since you're often my reference 😅

Not sure how deep you want to go, however:
[1] Statement = triple. A sentence could contain multiple statements at once
[2] What do you mean with pegged around a predicate?
[3] It’s a bit unclear what it means for a triple to be “in” the named graph. That's why we’re thinking N3 and RDF* rather than using named graphs. But general idea: yes

(1/2)

@pietercolpaert ,

" [2] What do you mean with pegged around a predicate?"

A collection of triples associated with a common predicate i.e., a relation.

Basically, that a Paragraph is a Relation -- sticking to this sentences, paragraphs, and pages perspective.

If I have the following RDF sentences:
{
<#this> <#relatedTo> <#that> .
<#this1> <#relatedTo> <#that> .
<#this3> <#relatedTo> <#that> .
}

<#relatedTo> is the relation predicate (or basis).

@pietercolpaert,

Here's a clearer breakdown as I left out some important items initially -- and reorganized the ordered list.

[1] IRIs denote observed things from a worldview

[2] Sentence (a triple comprising a subject->verb->object) -- describes one aspect of said thing

[3] Paragraph --> a description collection (relational set based on a predicate)

[4] Page --> Document (a Named Graph in SPARQL) comprising descriptions

@pietercolpaert,
It has a lot to do with what #RDF and surfaces upon which triples are inscribed.

The linguistic aspect of RDF, in regards to “parts of speech,” is very helpful to understanding many subtleties that are sometimes lost in confusion.

Ultimately, this is about storytelling for audiences that still remain a little confused about this important standard for structured data representation 😊

@hochstenbach

@hochstenbach,

Sentences don't have an order, but they have fundamental subject->verb-object structure.

Sentences don't float in space i.e., they are inscribed on a surface.

What did I miss? 😀

/cc @pietercolpaert

@hochstenbach,

"An RDF surface is a kind of a sheet of paper on which RDF graphs can be written." (excerpted from https://josd.github.io/surface/).

The paragraph above actually articulates what I am trying describe.

I was just trying to confirm conceptual alignment using everyday terminology.

An #RDF doc is just a digital rendition of a piece of paper 😀
