No, no, I didn't mean to imply that there wasn't a triple in the latter
cases, just that in many contexts people cheerfully conflate the name of the
predicate with the name of the resulting type. "Album -> Artist" translates
to "an arc called 'Artist' from the type 'Album' to the type 'Artist'". In a
CSV file, for example, column-headings are (mostly) playing both roles at
once.
