RDF is intended to provide a simple way to state properties of
(facts about) resources
http://www.example.org/index.html has
a creator whose value is John Smith
- We need a way to identify the thing we want to describe (the
Web page, in this case)
- We need a way to identify a specific property (the creator)
of the thing that we want to describe
- We need a way to identify the thing we want to assign as the
value of this property (who the creator is), for the thing we
want to describe
