This text is pretty good. What we have added to RDF Concepts is compatible with this. OTOH this text only explains how terms are used *in the Primer*. It's also a non-normative document. The Primer is best understood as a tutorial, not a reference document. Terms that need definitions that people may want to look up again later should really be defined elsewhere. Best, Richard
