Outline Introduction Benefits How RDF works? RDF characteristics RDF Model RDF Schemas Describing things with RDF History

Introduction Machine-understandable information Properties of WWW resources A framework for describing and interchanging metadata resource property statement RDF statements specify the properties and values of Web resources RDF is encoded in XML RDF Vocabularies Why Not Just Use XML

Benefits By providing a consistent framework, RDF will encourage the providing of metadata about Internet resources. Because RDF will include a standard syntax for describing and querying data, software that exploits metadata will be easier and faster to produce. The standard syntax and query capability will allow applications to exchange information more easily. Searchers will get more precise results from searching, based on metadata rather than on indexes derived from full text gathering. Intelligent software agents will have more precise data to work with.

How RDF works? a formal W3C Recommendation part of an Extensible Markup Language (XML) section constitute a class of such like descriptions classes could fit into a schema or hierarchy of classes The schema of classes proposal would save having to repeat descriptions since a single reference to the class of which a particular RDF description was a part would suffice The scheme or description of the collection of classes could itself be written in RDF language.

Characteristics Independence Interchange Scalability Properties are Resources Values Can Be Resources Statements Can Be Resources

RDF Data Model A model is a set of statements Statement: = (predicate, subject, object) Predicate is a property Subject is a resource Object is value Object = Predicate(Subject)

RDF Statements SubjectObject predicate

RDF Statements Jonathan Borden

Describing things with RDF Jonathan Borden An XSLT based parser which converts an arbitrary XML document into RDF Statements

RDF Schemas Describe rules for using RDF properties Are expressed in RDF Provides information about the interpretation of the statements given in an RDF data model Are not to be confused with XML Schemas (eventual DTD replacements)
