Wikibase/Terms/ja

RDF
Resource Description Framework. A way of representing information in a structured way, used by Wikibase and other software in the Linked Open Data web.

See the W3C's document on RDF concepts.

Statement, triple
In RDF, data is presented in the following form: a subject (item), a predicate (property) and an object (item, quantity, mathematical expression...).


 * Example: "&lt;Berlin> &lt;is the capital of> &lt;Germany>."
 * Example: "&lt;Berlin> &lt;has a population of> &lt;3.7 million>."

These three pieces of information together are called a triple, and as a single piece of information it's called a statement.

See the Wikidata glossary entry, the Wikipedia article on triples and the W3C's primer.

項目
An object, concept, or event that appears in a triple (the subject, possibly also the object).


 * Examples: "red", "empathy", "New Year's Eve"

See the Wikidata glossary entry.

プロパティ
A descriptor that appears in a triple (the predicate).


 * Examples: "is capital (of)", "inventor (of)", "instance (of)"

See the Wikidata glossary entry.
