 Semantic annotations follow the RDF data model and use a *triple structure* to make statements about a
 *resource* (i.e., an object on the Web). A semantic triple is composed of three parts:
-a **subject**, an **object property or data property (predicate)**, and an **object**.
+a **subject**, a **predicate (object property or data property)**, and an **object**.

 #### Example 1: Top-level resource annotation (dataset)
 
 In the following dataset annotation, the *subject* of the semantic statement is the `dataset` element containing

 Finally, the *object* (value) in the semantic statement is "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01000177", which resolves 
 to the "grassland biome" term in the ENVO ontology (http://www.obofoundry.org/ontology/envo.html).
