I think the first issue is the clash with the term 'Property', so I would not even be shocked by a 'Predicate group' at the minimum. Not that this would be perfect either.

Looking at that list: I am not sure any of the combinations around the term 'Web objects' or Resources really express what this stuff is all about (well, for RDF heads the term 'Resource' is of course fine, but I do not think we should use that one association here). My preference at this moment goes for 'Data Objects' or 'Data Things'.
