Rob --
It's interesting to note that, while EAV uses Entity-Attribute-Value
triples, the Resource Description Framework (RDF) for the Semantic Web also
uses triples.
In RDF, the triples are called Subject-Predicate-Object, but the underlying
idea seems to be the same.
That idea is, of course, to do a bit of second order reasoning using first
order tools, such as SQL.
Cheers, -- Adrian
