Talk:Melody Klaver played in Diep

"'Melody Klaver played in Diep' played Debby"?--Patrick 02:53, 7 November 2006 (CET)

Actually I had not noticed that she did not play Debby but Heleen. I meant that the subject of Relation:Played is supposed to be an actor, not a sentence about an actor.--Patrick 11:00, 7 November 2006 (CET)

Right, that is of course true. Fuelbottle 11:04, 7 November 2006 (CET)

That was supposed to be "played Heleen". I tried reifying a statement. In RDF, reifying a triple (Melody Klaver, played in, Diep) turns it into something like

  Melody Klaver         Diep
     \                  /
      \rdf:subject     /rdf:object
       \              /
        anonymous node
       /              \ 
      /rdf:type        \rdf:predicate
     /                  \
rdf:statement         played in

This makes it possible to make statements about the statement. In this case I used "played Heleen" to mean that this is valid in the context of the statement "Melody Klaver played in Diep". Perhaps not the best example though, since this information already exists in Heleen. Another would be ((Bill Clinton, Spouse, Hillary Clinton) which could have for example "married date", "divorced date"(if they were) etc.

This stuff is pretty much the same as what Presidency of the United States of Bill Clinton accomplishes for (Bill Clinton, president of, USA). It can become a little clutterish though. Perhaps it would be useful with anonymous nodes in software, so this could just be in the fact boxes instead. - Fuelbottle 11:01, 7 November 2006 (CET)

This seems related to triadic relation.--Patrick 11:26, 7 November 2006 (CET)
