 The graph examples above make 'true' statements; they are logically consistent:
 
-- att.4 contains measurements of plant cover percentage
+- att.4 contains measurements of type plant cover percentage

 ## 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.
