To load your organizational data into VIVO, you will transform your spreadsheet into triples. Each row of the spreadsheet will result in three triples: 1) a triple that asserts that the OrgURI is an organization of a particular type; 2) a triple that asserts that the organization has a particular name; and 3) a triple that asserts that the organization is part of another organization. Notice that the first row in the spreadsheet will generate two triples – Sample University is not part of another organization. The other six rows will generate 3 triples each. We will have 20 triples in all 2 + 3 * 6 = 20. The triples are shown below. Notes follow.

Notes regarding the triples
- The triples are shown in N-triples format and should be stored in a file with the file type ".nt" Elements of the triples are either URI (in brackets) or strings (in double quotes with a language tag). Each triple ends with a period.
- Each triple is of the form subject predicate object. The subject is always a URI (in brackets) and is a URI you specify in your table of data.
- The predicates are from the ontologies VIVO uses to represent data. They are also always URI (in brackets). There are three kinds of assertions being made. Each has its own predicate:
- The predicate to assert a type is <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type>
- The predicate to assert a name, known as a label, is <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label>
- The predicate to assert that the organization is part of another organization is <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000050>
