What's a RDF triple?

Question

In layman\'s terms, what\'s a RDF triple?

Answer 1

See: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-rdf-triple

An RDF triple contains three components:

• the subject, which is an RDF URI reference or a blank node
• the predicate, which is an RDF URI reference
• the object, which is an RDF URI reference, a literal or a blank node

where literals are essentially strings with optional language tags, and blank nodes are also strings. URIs, literals and blank nodes must be from pair-wise disjoint sets.
