Triples for machines
• Triples can be serialized in many di!erent ways, including Resource Description Framework, RDF/XML, RDFa, N3, Turtle, etc, but they all describe things in the <subject><predicate><object> format.
• Of course, we need to be consistent and predictable for machines to understand us.
• We need to follow simple rules and protocols

• Consider graph demo: http://civilwardata150.net
• Civil War vocabulary, or a way to link and traverse across datasets• Regiments, Battles, Places
• Building apps that use this data
