Great work Ruben! I had a couple of minor comments which I added directly to
the commit referenced above. There's only one thing which I find a bit
confusing. You say
All RDF triples have a subject, predicate, and object [...]
< triples about Walt Disney >
This combination of structure and URLs is the essence of Linked Data
What exactly do you mean by *structure* in this context? Could we simplify
it by saying "This usage of URLs is the essence..."? Or do you think we
would lose something if we did?
