Re: Best Practices for Converting CSV into LOD?

that one could navigate through the entire LOD (e.g. state - state/year - state/year/month - state/year/month/typeOfProducer - state/year/month/typeOfProducer/energySource). 4. Any other considerations that I'm overlooking? Thanks, Jamey generation_state_mon.rdf -- Dr. Axel

An interactive shell for teaching RDF

Re: Why are RDF containers (rdf:Seq etc.) so little appreciated?

2010-02-14 Thread Axel Rauschmayer
Im not sure what you mean by 'stable identity', It's a slightly (possibly unorthodox) viewpoint I take during RDF editing: With a container, you can say I will edit the sequence at URI X and be sure that X stays the same, no matter how you change the elements. With a collection, the anchor

Why are RDF containers (rdf:Seq etc.) so little appreciated?

2010-02-13 Thread Axel Rauschmayer
In contrast to RDF collections (rdf:List), they have a stable identity and don't use nested resources (=easy to remove). Furthermore, standard RDFS inferencing can be used to infer membership as the property rdfs:member. Yet, most RDF vocabularies that I know of use collections and syntaxes

Our goal with the first release of the Fresnel vocabulary in 2006 was to have more people (beyond us) play with it in different contexts and get feedback so that the language could be enhanced iteratively. Maybe it is now time to do such an iteration? I am working on my own Fresnel 2. The

You were asking about description logic programming; well, OWL 2 RL: http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-profiles/#OWL_2_RL is exactly that: it is a manifestation of DLP. It has a Direct Semantics 'side', compatible with OWL 2 DL, and a rule based 'side', described by the rule set:
