I have been very interested in this subject for years, the motivation to me seems clear, so perhaps I can shed some light on this for you. Being able to extract information from raw text would have a huge number of business applications, and could completely change the way human beings interact with machines. Besides that, there are a number of questions which are unanswered which bear on fundamental research topics in deep learning, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing.
The idea behind the triples is they provide additional data points which can be used to improve the efficiency & accuracy of information extraction.
This is a super hard subject at the forefront of modern research and its just a hobby of mine to keep up to date on the state of affairs at this point, having long ago given up the side project I had been working on. I must not have been keeping up very well because I had not seen the link before despite being from 2016.
