Comment:
RDF Schema defines classes and properties that may be used to describe classes, properties and other resources
example
....
Comment:
used to express ontologies -- simple type language
Comment:
classes in terms of RDFS classes -- classes can be combined (alternatives, sets, bags)
Comment:
properties are defined in terms RDFS properties -- can be constrained in range and domain
Comment:
RDF provides no mechanisms for describing properties -- nor does it provide any mechanisms for describing the relationships between properties and other resources
example
app:person is a rdfs:subClassOf, appl:marriedWith is a rdf:Property
Comment:
extension allows to reify statements
Comment:
RDF documents can be checked against the schema
