Tag Triples

TagTriples is a structured metadata format, similar to RDF, but intended to be simpler to understand and generate.

Tagtriples metadata consists of 'statements', each containing 3 words (or 'symbols') - a 'subject', a 'property' and an 'object'.

Here's some tagtriples statements (1 per line):
