# Putting Mark, Token, and Type effects together via an RDF sentence that's understood by an RDF processor.
# An RDF processor understands, at the bare minimum, the semantics of terms defined in the RDF Ontology (http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# )

:this :relatedTo :that . 

# In SPARQL you can go one step further by adding:
# 1. URI-Variables as Identifiers
# 2. Named Graph Identifiers that name a collection of RDF Sentences
