You create a

Now, how do you, as a third party, make use of all this stuff?
Do I have to provide a query engine at some URL or do you just
walk through my pile of RDF documents parsing stuff?
Either or both, yes. Generally you read peoples RDF into a local store,
but you could use thier remote query interface if they will let you.
So any queries
you have on GreenThings will be satisfied by instances of
ColouredThings - not a perfect match as you can see, but better than
nothing.
Did you mean to say that the other way around? i.e.
"any queries you have on ColouredThings will be satisfied by instances of
GreenThings".
Er, yes. Sorry!
