Types:
|
-
model
-
describe relationships between resources -- resources addressed via URIs -- everything is an RDF statement -- subject, predicate, value -- all knowledge expressed by a labelled arc -- graph
-
opinion
-
good for tagging and simple linking, tractability -- meant for distributed information resources -- unpretty reification -- problems pinpointing resource -- very 'assembler-like'
-
motivation
-
Internet is messy -- mostly text, images, but not 'content' -- search engines have to focus on text (HTML, PDF, ...)
-
agenda
-
enable not only interoperability on a syntactic level (like XML), but on a semantic level -- application level content exchange
-
history
-
1999: started off as pure metadata framework -- 2003: evolved to generic semantic relationships (emancipation from documents)
-
Comment:
-
only conceptual model -- how instance data is actually store is a separate issue -- there exists several notations: one XMLish (RDF), one not XMLish (N3)
