@egonw What is the difference, between a triple and a statement?

dsantini, 5 months ago

@jabberati @egonw each statement has

• a triple that links it to the subject (p:P* in SPARQL)
• a triple that links it to its value (ps:P*)
• an equivalent direct triple (wdt:P*)
• a triple for its rank (deprecated/normal/favorite)
• a triple for each qualifier (pq:P*)
• a triple for each reference that links to the reference (plus the triples inside the reference)

@dsantini @egonw Thanks, I forgot about everything but the the direct triple.
