  1. RDF(Resource Description Framework)

  2. Table of Contents • Introduction • Basic RDF • Basic RDF Model • Basic Syntax • Containers • Statements about Statements • examples

  3. Introduction • Conception • Foundation for processing metadata. • Provides interoperability between Applications that exchange machine-understandable information on the Web. • A Model for representing RDF metadata. • A Syntax for encoding and Transporting this metadata in a manner. ( using of XML Syntax) • Have a Class System much like OOP.

  4. Introduction • using • Resource discovery. • Digital library. • Intelligent software agents. • Privacy Policies. • Etc..

  5. Basic RDF Model No1 • A Model for representing named properties and property values • A Syntax-neutral way of representing RDF expressions • Consists of Object types • Resource • Properties • Statements

  6. Basic RDF Model No2 • Resources • ALL things being described by RDF expressions are called resources • Properties • A Property is a specific aspect, characteristic, attribute or relation used to describe a resource • Statements • A specific resource together with a named property plus the value of that property for that resource is an RDF statment

  7. Basic RDF Model No3 • sentence • Ora Lassila the creator of the resource http://www.w3c.org/Home/Lassila

  8. Basic RDF Model (Simple node and arc diagram) http://www.w3c.org/Home/Lassila Ora Lassila Creator The graph consists of two nodes connected by a single arc. One node (represented as an oval) contains the URI text http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila and the other (represented as a rectangle) contains the text "Ora Lassila". The arc connecting these nodes bears the label Creator.

  9. Basic RDF Model (Property with structured Value) • sentence • The individual whose name is Ora Lassila, email <lassila@w3.org>, is the creator of http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila. Creator http://www.w3c.org/Home/Lassila Email Name Ora Lassila Lassila@w3.org

  10. Basic RDF Model (Structured value with identifier) • sentence • The individual referred to by employee id 85740 is named Ora Lassila and has the email address lassila@w3.org. The resource http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila was created by this individual. Creator http://www.w3c.org/Home/Lassila http://www.w3.org/staffId/85740 Name Email Ora Lassila Lassila@w3.org

  11. Basic RDF Syntax No1 • RDF data model provides an abstract, conceptual framework for defining and using metadata • Concrete syntax is also needed for the purpose of creating and exchanging this metadata • Syntax descriptions in this document use the Extended Backus-Naur Form notation of [XML] to describe the essential RDF Syntax elements • Define two XML Syntax for encoding an RDF data model instance

  12. Basic RDF Syntax No2 • Serialization Syntax Express • The RDF XML syntax has been designed to accomodate this easily by grouping multiple statements for the same resource into a Description element • Abbreviated Syntax Express • Describle to use a more compact XML form • Three forms of abbreviation are defined for the basic serialization syntax

  13. Serialization Syntax Express • sentence Ora Lassila is the creator of the resourcehttp://www.w3c.org/Home/Lassila <?XML version=“1.0 ?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf = “http://www.w3c.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#” xmlns:s = “http://description.org/schema/ “ > <rdf:Description about=“http://www.w3c.org/Home/Lassila> <s:Creator>Ora Lassila </s:Creator> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>

  14. Abbreviated Syntax Express • The first is usable for properties that are not repeated within a Description and where the values of those properties are literals

  15. Abbreviated Syntax Express <rdf:RDF> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org"> <s:Publisher>World Wide Web Consortium</s:Publisher> <s:Title>W3C Home Page</s:Title> <s:Date>1998-10-03T02:27</s:Date> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> <rdf:RDF> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org" s:Publisher="World Wide Web Consortium" s:Title="W3C Home Page" s:Date="1998-10-03T02:27"/> </rdf:RDF>

  16. Abbreviated Syntax Express • The second RDF abbreviation form works on nested Description elements • Sentence The individual referred to by employee id 85740 is named Ora Lassila and has the email address lassila@w3.org. The resource http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila was created by this individual.

  17. Abbreviated Syntax Express <rdf:RDF> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila"> <s:Creator rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/staffId/85740"/> </rdf:Description> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org/staffId/85740"> <v:Name>Ora Lassila</v:Name> <v:Email>lassila@w3.org</v:Email> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>

  18. Abbreviated Syntax Express <rdf:RDF> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila"> <s:Creator> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org/staffId/85740"> <v:Name>Ora Lassila</v:Name> <v:Email>lassila@w3.org</v:Email> </rdf:Description> </s:Creator> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>

  19. Abbreviated Syntax Express <rdf:RDF> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila"> <s:Creator rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/staffId/85740" v:Name="Ora Lassila" v:Email="lassila@w3.org" /> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>

  20. Abbreviated Syntax Express <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:s="http://description.org/schema/"> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila"> <s:Creator> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org/staffId/85740"> <rdf:type resource="http://description.org/schema/Person"/> <v:Name>Ora Lassila</v:Name> <v:Email>lassila@w3.org</v:Email> </rdf:Description> </s:Creator> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>

  21. Abbreviated Syntax Express <rdf:RDF> <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila"> <s:Creator> <s:Person about="http://www.w3.org/staffId/85740"> <v:Name>Ora Lassila</v:Name> <v:Email>lassila@w3.org</v:Email> </s:Person> </s:Creator> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>
