For some reason I get the impression that alot of folks
are thinking "line in some ntriples file" when they
think of triple rather than simply the combination
of three elements, S, P, and O.
A triple is an abstract entity. It has no explicit
representation in the graph. It is only inferred from
the presence of an arc from one node to another node
or literal.
Eh?
