Revisiting and Simplifying RDF
نویسندگان
چکیده
RDF, a simple yet expressive data model, is widely recognised as the foundation for the Semantic Web. We revisit the RDF specification and analyse five problems: literals are not addressable, blank nodes are not addressable, reification is not semantically recognised, language tags are not addressable, and language tags can not be combined. We introduce SiRDF, a simplified data model with fewer modelling elements that overcomes the mentioned problems, and formally show its semantic equivalence to RDF. Based on the lessons of SiRDF we recommend a restricted usage of RDF that solves the mentioned problems while fully adhering to the original RDF specification.

Simplifying RDF Data for Graph-Based Machine Learning
From the perspective of machine learning and data mining applications, expressing data in RDF rather than a domain-specific format can add complexity and obfuscate the internal structure. We investigate and illustrate this issue with an example where bio-molecular graph datasets are expressed in RDF. We use this example to inspire preprocessing techniques which reverse some of the complications...
متن کاملFrom Web Sources
This paper describes a workflow of simplifying and matching special language terms in RDF generated from trawling term candidates from Web terminology sites with TermFactory, a Semantic Web framework for professional terminology. Term candidates from such sources need to be matched and eventually merged with resources already in TermFactory. While merging anonymous data, it is important not to ...
متن کاملMassive-Scale RDF Processing Using Compressed Bitmap Indexes
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a popular data model for representing linked data sets arising from the web, as well as large scientific data repositories such as UniProt. RDF data intrinsically represents a labeled and directed multi-graph. SPARQL is a query language for RDF that expresses subgraph pattern-finding queries on this implicit multigraph in a SQLlike syntax. SPARQL quer...
متن کاملRDF Editing on the Web
While several tools for simplifying the task of visualizing (SPARQL accessible) RDF data on the Web are available today, there is a lack of corresponding tools for exploiting standard HTML forms directly for RDF editing. The few related existing systems roughly fall in the categories of (a) applications that are not aimed at being reused as components, (b) form generators, which automatically c...
متن کاملRDF Production from Municipal Wastes (Case Study: Babol City)
Today, with the advancement of technology, turning waste into fuel has been considered as an inexhaustible source of energy production, especially in industries with high energy consumption. The most important of these industries are Cement and Iron Smelting factories. Babol, as one of the largest provinces in the north of the country, has been facing waste management crisis for several years w...
