I'm just trying to learn what RDF is, and I believe that this sentence is steering me down the wrong road. I feel, therefore, that it is important to resolve the grammatical issues. The example in question is: The creator of http://somewhere is John Smith. if we rewrite it as, A of B is C. A, The creator, is the subject 'is' is the predicate or verb (a linking verb at that) C, John Smith, is the subjective complement (had the verb been a transitive one, this would be the direct object) 'of B', 'of http://somewhere', is a prepositional phrase used as an adjective describing A The proper graph of this sentence should look like --is-- | | A --is-- C A,C----- \ / | \ / | created created or created \ / | \ / | B B Perhaps a better example sentence would be: John Smith created http://somewhere. -subject-- -verb-- --object--------- -Scott Selberg
