Scrap the example above, it should have been:

<a href="{some-relation-uri}">I am a link target</a> is a triple:

# nature of relation definition triples

<a/>
a rdf:Property ;
rdfs:comment """I am a Relationship property/predicate *represented*
                          via the HTML anchor (<a/>) tag. """ .


# actual relation instance triples

<>
<a/> [ a owl:Thing ;
            <#denotedBy> <{some-uri-that-denotes-some-other-thing}> ;
             rdfs:label "I am a link target" ] .

The Relation semantics aspect of RDF plus Linked Data's HTTP URIs 
enables the above to evolve, ad nauseam to the likes of:

<a/>
a rdf:Property;
rdfs:label "HTML <a/> tag" ;
rdfs:domain schema:WebPage ;
rdfs:range schema:WebPage .

or even to something more specific:


<a/>
a rdf:Property;
rdfs:label "HTML <a/> tag" ;
rdfs:domain schema:WebPage ;
rdfs:range owl:Thing .


Or you make you own relation on the fly [1].

Key thing is that both humans and machines are able to make sense 
(connote) of what the sentences or statements represented by the triples.
