Help:Notes on subobjects

A subobject is an entity object that is independent from the embedding subject, it is distinguished from it and is therefore addressable and uniquely identifiable by its name or identifier as individual resource.

Value statements ([[SomeProperty::SomeValue]]) denoted by a subobject belong to a subobject and not a subject (in wiki terms an article or page where the #subobject is embedded) therefore when querying information about for example SomeProperty, the subobject is identified as container of related statements.

Example

Subject: Foo
   |      |- Has subobject: _3099b029e9dde9c5ae1c19f2ec546f5f(anonymous, generated)
   |                |- SomeProperty::SomeValue
   |      |- Has subobject: Bar (named)
   |                |- SomeProperty::SomeValue
   |- SomeProperty::SomeValue

Internally several concepts use the technical representation of a subobject to create individual entities and include:
