> Has this been done before? Depends what you mean by "this"! RDF [1] and most of the technology surrounding it and the "Semantic Web" are based on (subject, predicate, object) triples almost exactly like this, where each element is often a URI, and objects are often strings just like they are here. It even has taken this idea to the next level where the statements expressed by such a triple can themselves be given a…
