Paragraph on Background:

1. In my opinion I think you should add before this sentence: "If you are unfamiliar with this method for data representation, see the references." more information about the RDF formats used in VIVO. Explain briefly the few languages for expressing data in the Resource Description Framework (RDF) data model. Add information from w3c. For example: RDF represents information using "triples", each of which consists of a subject, a predicate, and an object. Each of those items is expressed as a Web URI. There are few languages to represent RDF dta. For example N-Triples is a line-based, plain text format for encoding an RDF graph. See example: [insert a screenshot of N-Triples]. 

You can get one example from here to include in the page: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vioil/VIVO-Karma/master/RDF/personVcard.nt

Turtle is defined a a subset of Notation3 (N3) language, and a superset of the minimal N-Triples format. Turtle provides a way to group three URIs to make a triple, and provides ways to abbreviate such information, for example by factoring out common portions of URIs. Turtle can only serialize valid RDF graphs. {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_(syntax)}

2. Please add link to a page with VIVO Google Groups when mentioning the groups.

Great, thanks.  I added additional explanation and references.  Added a link to the email.

This page is not intended to provide a tutorial regarding triples or examples of triples. Happy to refer to a paper or other material if there is some.  And if not, perhaps we should write.

For this page, the idea is to provide a high-level overview for people who want to do data analysis.  They should likely meet their VIVO providers.  I have added a sentence about that to the background.
