RDF M&S revisited: From Reification to Nesting, from Containers to Lists, from Dialect to pure XML
نویسندگان
چکیده
The basic result presented is the following: with two assumptions about the intentions behind the RDF model, it can be shown that the RDF model and a model allowing for nested triples and lists of resources and triples, can be mapped to one another (in both directions). This allows to establish a close link between the RDF model and extended models previously suggested (SlimRDF [3], XRDF [4]). Further, the approach may help to clarify some problems related to interpreting the roles of reification and containers in the RDF model.

RDF model revisited – or: how to make the most out of Reifications and Containers
The basic result presented is the following: with two (hopefully) reasonable assumptions about the intentions behind RDF model, it can be shown that the RDF model and a model allowing for nested triple and lists of resources and triples, can be mapped to one another (in both directions). This allows to establish a close link between the RDF model and “extended” models recently suggested (SlimRD...
متن کاملModel Theory and Entailment Rules for RDF Containers, Collections and Reification
An RDF graph is, at its core, just a set of statements consisting of subjects, predicates and objects. Nevertheless, since its inception practitioners have asked for richer data structures such as containers (for open lists, sets and bags), collections (for closed lists) and reification (for quoting and provenance). Though this desire has been addressed in the RDF primer and RDF Schema specific...
متن کاملRDF Querying in Xcerpt
A versatile query language provides capabilities of querying ordinary XML based data as well as Semantic Web data and thus builds a bridge between both worlds. Xcerpt, a pattern-based deductive query and transformation language for semi-structured data, shows to be a perfectly appropriate candidate to become such a versatile query language. This thesis investigates and develops new language con...
متن کاملDRS: A Set of Conventions for Representing Logical Languages in RDF
RDF, and notations based on it such as OWL, are not very good at representing arbitrary propositions, which are necessary for many applications, including the representation of processes and plans. There are various official (“OWL rules”) and semiofficial (“RuleML”) efforts to solve this problem. DRS is similar in spirit to the OWL Rules system, but different in detail. (For further remarks, se...
متن کاملEmbedding Logic in DAML/RDF
The advantage of the RDF/DAML+OIL family of languages over ordinary XML is that it is topic-neutral and composable. However, its expressivity is severely limited. This limitation is well known, and the usual remedy is reification, in which RDF is used to describe formulas in a richer language. We propose a method for encoding typed predicate calculus using reification. The method generalizes to...
