Exchanging Semantics with RDF

چکیده
E-Commerce applications require the exchange of data in an interoperable manner. XML enables syntactic interoperability but more sophisticated E-Commerce applications require semantic interoperability as well. RDF is an application of XML intended to exchange semantics between Web applications. RDF schemata can be used to describe the concepts and constraints of a specific application domain at a semantic level. However there is no formal mechanism to state sophisticated semantics beyond the static set of concepts and constraints provided by RDF. This paper presents an approach extending RDF in a standard manner and utilizing a host formalism for formally defining semantics of new RDF schemata. An elaborated example applies the approach to security management. A tool, the RDF Schema Explorer, is available on-line, allowing to process, validate and query a first-order-logic interpretation of(extended) RDF Schemata.

The Yin/Yang Web: A Unified Model for XML Syntax and RDF Semantics
XML is the W3C standard document format for writing and exchanging information on the Web. RDF is the W3C standard model for describing the semantics and reasoning about information on the Web. Unfortunately, RDF and XML—although very close to each other—are based on two different paradigms. We argue that in order to lead the Semantic Web to its full potential, the syntax and the semantics of i...
متن کاملRDFTL : An Event-Condition-Action Language for RDF
RDF is becoming a core technology in the Semantic Web. Providing the ability to describe metadata information that can be easily navigated, and the ease of storing it in existing relational database systems, have made RDF a very popular way of expressing and exchanging metadata information. However, the use of RDF in dynamic applications over distributed environments that require timely notific...
متن کاملIntegrating and Exchanging XML Data Using Ontologies
While providing a uniform syntax and a semistructured data model, XML does not express semantics but only structure such as nesting information. In this paper, we consider the problem of data integration and interoperation of heterogeneous XML sources and use an ontology-based framework to address this problem at a semantic level. Ontologies are extensively used for domain knowledge representat...
متن کاملAn extensible approach for Modeling Ontologies in RDF(S)
RDF(S) constitutes a newly emerging standard for metadata that is about to turn the World Wide Web into a machine-understandable knowledge base. It is an XML application that allows for the denotation of facts and schemata in a web-compatible format, building on an elaborate object-model for describing concepts and relations. Thus, it might turn up as a natural choice for a widelyuseable ontolo...
