I'd suggest to first state the essential relationship between yourself and that
(amazing) document, and then to state the relationship between the document and
you as its author,
<Person rdf:about='Pat'>
<Publication lgl:verb='has'>
<DocumentThing rdf:about='RDFSemantics'>
<Title lgl:verb='has'><rdf:Literal eng='RDF Semantics'/></Title>
<Author rdf:resource='Pat' lgl:verb='has'/>
</DocumentThing>
</Publication>
</Person>
>... If this is natural English then Im a Dutchman.
In my view this syntax should be clear to the generalist or domain expert:
Person("Pat") has Publication("RDFSemantics")
Publication("RDFSemantics") has Title("RDF Semantics")
Publication("RDFSemantics") has Author("Pat")
The heart of the matter is recognizing verbs as a dimensional attribute of
RDF:Statement.
> >> How can one express a proposition using only nouns? My mother's name

Say that "I have a Mother whose Name is 'Betty'
<Person rdf:about='Pat'>
<Mother lgl:verb='has'>
<Person rdf:about='Betty'>
<Name lgl:verb='has'><rdf:Literal eng='Betty'/></Name>
</Person>
</Mother>
</Person>
