Ontology is the philosophical study of being. Generally *things* are split into two broad categories: **abstract** and **concrete** things. These words are "terms of art" and their definition is not standardized in any way.

## Overview
The **Resource Description Framework** (RDF) is the foundational representation language of the Semantic Web. The basic building block of RDF is the **triple** containing a **subject**, **predicate**, and **object**. Global identifiers of resources are represented as [[uri|URIs]] (or, more generally, IRIs). These URIs can be expressed more compactly as [[uri#CURIEs|CURIEs]].

## Overview
A **uniform resource identifier** (URI) is a unique sequence of characters for identifying some physical or abstract resource. URIs are further generalized to **internationalized resource identifier**s (IRIs) which allow using characters from any language, provided there exists a standard web encoding of the characters.
%%ANKI

What is URI an acronym for?
Back: **U**niform **r**esource **i**dentifier.
