 The RDF structure (`Lassila and Swick 1999`_) is, for our purposes,
-a 3-hypergraph. By interpreting the hyperedge components
-(as is usual) as subject, predicate, and object, the orthogonal
-components are obtained by using different predicates (as dimensions)
-in different applitudes. XXX
+a set of triples *(a,b,c)* with *a* and *b* ranging over the "atoms"
+of the structure and *c* ranging over the atoms and *literals* (explicit
+values such as strings or numbers).
+By interpreting the components of the triple
+(as is usual) as subject, predicate, and object, the structure
+can be divided to orthogonal
+components for the different applitudes
+by using non-overlapping sets of predicates and objects 
+in different applitudes. 
 
 Visualizations of RDF are generally a two-dimensional
 layout of a whole graph, as if drawn on a sheet of paper.
