An OIE extraction normally consists of a relation and a set of arguments.

The first argument is usually referred as the subject while the second is considered to be the object.

It depicts a 19th century understanding of the sea with particular emphasis on the life and work of German biologist and researcher Ernst Haeckel.

Title: The Delicate Art of the Rifle
Passage: The Delicate Art of the Rifle is a 1996 independent film directed by Dante W. Harper, with a screenplay by Stephen Grant, based on his short story by the same name. It is a surrealistic comedy-drama about a school shooting as seen through the eyes of a socially awkward college student named Jay. Walt Whitman, the shooter, is loosely based on Charles Whitman, but the film is not in any way a factual account of the 1966 shootings at the University of Texas.
