Class: Statement

An RDF statement that links a predicate (a Property) with an object (a Thing) to the subject to form a triple. A Statement is used to qualify a relation to a Thing referenced by its identifier. For specifying a qualified relation to an attribute that has no dedicated identifier, use an AttributeSpecification.

Examples

Example: Statement-01-minimal

# A statement contains the missing predicate and object to link to
# a subject in order to form a full RDF triple. Both are required,
# and both must be referenced (URI or CURIE) and not be inlined.
predicate: ex:subject
object: https://helmholtz.de

Example: Statement-02-reify

# make statements about a statement (reification), here annotating
# generation provenance (of this statement)
predicate: ex:subject
object: https://helmholtz.de
characterized_by:
  - predicate: http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasGeneratedBy
    object: ex:my-scraper-script
annotations:
  ex:review-requested: auto-generated annotations, review required
editorial_notes:
  - This subject declaration appears to be too broad.
