1: Triples
Present all your data in as triples, building everything out of Subject-Property-Value statements. Other Information:
This roughly lines up with rock-solid technologies like relational databases and object-oriented programming, and new techniques,
including JSON and terascale databases (Google’s BigTable app engine datastore, Amazon’s SimpleDB). The details are ironed
out in RDF, a W3C standard first published in 1999, and then rearticulated with clarification in 2004. When you use triples
as your building blocks, you have to be more explicit about the structure of your data, and this eases accurate interoperation.
The simplicity also supports metadata, reasoning about data, data distribution, and shared infrastructure even among disparate
applications.
