Using RDF(S) to provide multiple views into a single ontology
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with RDF (Resource Description Framework). The main point is to present a general model describing when and how to exploit RDF technology. It is suggested that RDF(S) 1 functions best as a means to provide mechanisms for expressing contextual and case-specific information. In other words, RDF(S) is suitable for providing different views into a single extensive ontology, rather than specifying the actual ontology. The ontology "behind" the case-specific RDF(S) is likely to be expressed using some other mechanism than RDF(S).

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
متن کاملImplementing Views for Light-Weight Web Ontologies
The Semantic Web aims at easy integration and usage of content by building on a semi-structured data model where data semantics are explicitly specified through ontologies. The use of ontologies in real-world applications such as community portals has shown that a new level of data independence is required for ontology-based applications. For example, the customization of information towards th...
متن کاملOntoRama: Browsing RDF Ontologies Using a Hyperbolic-Style Browser
This paper presents a Java-based hyperbolic-style browser designed to render RDF files as structured ontological maps. The program was motivated by the need to browse the content of a web-accessible ontology server: WEBKB-2. The ontology server contains descriptions of over 74,500 object types derived from the WORDNET 1.7 lexical database and can be accessed using RDF syntax. Such a structure c...
متن کاملOntodog: A Web-based Ontology Community View Generator
Reference ontologies are often very large and complex. When applied to a specific application, generally a subset of one reference ontology is needed. Moreover, the labels of ontology terms that were given in the perspective of ontology developers might not be preferred labels to the end users. Therefore, it is desirable to have a community view of a reference ontology that is a subset of the o...
متن کاملQuerying Semantic Web Resources Using TRIPLE Views
Resources on the Semantic Web are described by metadata related to some formal or informal ontology. It is a common situation that a casual user does not know domain ontology in detail. This makes it difficult to formulate queries in this ontology to find the relevant resources. Users consider the resources in their specific context, so the most straightforward solution is to formulate queries ...
