How do we go about fixing stuff like:

"The subject is the Web resource we like to make a statement about. The 
predicate represents the feature we want to make a statement about. The 
object represents the value of the feature for this subject. Informally 
speaking, RDF allows us to make statements of the form:

       <Bob> <is a friend of> <Alice>.
       <Bob> <is born on> <the 4th of July 1990>.
       <Leonardo da Vinci> <is the creator of> <the Mona Lisa>.
       <The Mona Lisa> <is on display in> <the Louvre>.
       <Bob> <likes> <The Mona Lisa>.
"

The subject of an RDF relation isn't always a Web resource. It's an 
entity denoted by an IRI. An entity for a which an RDF model based 
description *might* be retrievable from a location on the Web or even 
the broader Internet, via a URL that denotes said location.
