**The simplest way to check your logic is to write out the RDF triple components and see if it makes sense as a sentence**.

```
[subject (element-id)] [predicate (propertyURI)] [object (valueURI)]
[att.4] [contains measurements of] [plant cover percentage]
[subject (element-id)] [predicate (propertyURI)] [object (valueURI)]
[att.4] [contains measurements of type] [plant cover percentage]
```
The graph examples above make 'true' statements; they are logically consistent:

- att.4 contains measurements of plant cover percentage
- att.4 contains measurements of the type plant cover percentage
- adam.shepherd is a person
- adam.shepherd, member of BCO-DMO

## Glossary
**ontology**: A representation that formally names and definition of the categories, properties, and relations between the concepts, data, and entities that substantiate one, many, or all domains.

**Resource Description Framework (RDF)**: A family of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifications that enable the encoding, exchange and reuse of structured metadata. The RDF data model employs semantic triples composed of a subject, predicate and object to share and integrate data across different applications and communities.

**uniform resource identifier (URI)**: A string of characters that unambiguously identifies a particular resource. For semantic annotations, the components of semantic triples are ideally URIs that resolve and describe precise definitions and relationships to other terms.
