RDF STATEMENT

Definition An <RDF STATEMENT> is an <STATEMENT> made by a token of an RDF triple. The subject of an RDF statement is the instance of rdfs:Resource identified by the subject of the triple. The predicate of an RDF statement is the instance of rdf:Resource identified by the predicate of the triple. The object of an RDF statement is the instance of rdfs:Resource identified by the object of the triple. rdf:Statement is in the domain of the properties rdf:predicate, rdf:subject and rdf:object. Different individual rdf:Statement instances may have the same values for their rdf:predicate, rdf:subject and rdf:object properties. RDF statements are not triples in an RDF graph so their values for rdf:predicate do not need to be instances of rdf:Property in that graph, although in most cases they will be.
