Triple

Definitions

1. A three-part statement in the form (subject, predicate, object) used as the fundamental unit of data in RDF and knowledge graphs — for example, (Alice, knows, Bob). Triples can be stored in triplestores and queried with SPARQL to express and traverse relationships.

   In plain English: A simple three-part fact — like 'Alice knows Bob' — used to store relationships in knowledge databases.

   Example: "Our knowledge graph ingests about 50 million triples from Wikidata, then we run SPARQL queries to find entity relationships."
