Triple
Babu bought doll Doll costs 20 Subject : An entity which could be person place or other concrete objects Predicate: Property of the entity. Object : could be Subject to other triples or literal value

Merging Triples
As the Triples are represented in the form of graphs the merging could be done with less effort
