RDF URI reference - resource node. Some RDF resources are properties. It's not always possible to say whether a resource is a property or not until it's used as a predicate, because we don't always have access to an RDF Schema that defines the property.

A URI Reference can be any part of an RDF Triple: subject, predicate or object.
