I've said RDF is simple, it's basically just
[node] ---arc---> [node]
or in N-triples form:
subject predicate object .
for example, note that nodes are named by URIrefs, stuff inside <..> is a
URIref, and QNames are converted to URIrefs:
<http://example.org/foo#XSD> rddl:purpose
<http://www.rddl.org/purposes#schema-validation> .
<http://example.org/foo#XSD> rddl:related <http://www.example.org/foo.xsd> .
but RDF gets hard fast. That's because the problems that RDF can be used to
solve might be very tricky problems. It's not that RDF *itself* is so
complicated, it's that its problem domain (e.g. unstructured databases or
"knowledge representation") is complicated.
This might be a good explanation:
