An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The main use of an apostrophe is to denote possessive ownership of something, usually with an "s" following the apostrophe. For example: "Dan's cats escaped the building." However, if the possessor's name ends with the letter "s," the apostrophe can stand alone with no "s" needed. This is the correct usage: '"Janus' cats escaped the building." This common usage is incorrect: "Janus's cats escaped the building."
