Reading

RDF Primer (http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/ )

Please have a look only to:

Chapter 2 Making Statements About Resources

Chapter 3 An XML Syntax for RDF: RDF/XML

Chapter 3 Defining RDF Vocabularies: RDF Schema

http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/







http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-rdf-syntax/




What is XML

• Provides a common syntax for marking up documents.

• Easy to exchange between computers (web)

• Data model: an XML Document is an ordered labeled tree

(/collection of trees).

• W3C standard since 1997.

Why XML is Not Enough

• It provides syntax, but not semantics, which is important when

exchanging/representing data over the Web.

• Not primitive. Same data can be represented in many ways, which is a

problem when exchanging/representing data over the Web.

<aaaa>

<bbbb>Universsity of Birzeit</aaaa>

<cccc>Almarj 435</cccc>

<dddd>Birzeit</dddd>

</aaaa>

What is RDF?

• RDF stands for Resource Description Framework.

• It is used for describing resources on the web.

• Makes use of URIs to identify web resources and is

written in XML.

• It is not a language but a framework• You see it as a way of writing XML making it meaningful and more

primitive.

• You may see it independent, RDF data might never occur in XML form

• W3C standard since 1999

11PalGov © 2011 11PalGov © 2011

Designed to be read by Computers

• RDF was designed to provide a common way to describe

information so it can be read (and understood) by

computer applications.

• RDF descriptions are not designed to be displayed on the

web.

12PalGov © 2011 12PalGov © 2011

Makes use of URIs

• RDF uses a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) to identify aweb resource, and properties to describe the resource

• Unlike URLs, URIs are not limited to identifying things thathave a network location.

• A URI reference (URIref) is a URI, together with anoptional fragment identifier at the end.http://www.example.org/index.html#section2

Simple Example


<RDF>

<Description about="http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp">

<author>Jan Egil Refsnes</author>

<created>November 1, 1999</created>

<modified>February 1, 2004</modified>

</Description>

</RDF>

19PalGov © 2011 19PalGov © 2011

Example Explained

• In the example:

– the URI "http://www.w3schools.com/-default.asp" isused to identify a web page,

– the property "author" describes the author of the page,

– the property value is "Jan Egil Refsnes".

– The property "created" tells when the page wascreated, and the property "modified" when it was lastmodified.

20PalGov © 2011 20PalGov © 2011

Subject, Predicate & Object

• RDF terminology also use the words subject,

predicate and object.

• The resource http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp is

the subject

• The property "author" is the predicate

• The value "Jan Egil Refsnes" is the object

http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp



21PalGov © 2011 21PalGov © 2011

RDF Important Concepts

• Data is represented in RDF as a directed labeled graph.

• An RDF graph is a set of triples, of the form <Subject, Predicate, Object>

Each Subject and each Predicate must be a URI; that is, it has to be a

unique identifier, not a literal. An Object can be either a URI or a literal.

Details of the Example

• The first line in the XML file is the XML declaration, telling the version of

XML.

• The rdf:RDF element indicates that the content is RDF.

• The xmlns:rdf namespace, specifies that tags with the rdf: prefix are

from the namespace defined by "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#".

• The xmlns:cd namespace, specifies that tags with the cd: prefix are

from the namespace defined by "http://www.recshop.fake/cd".

• The rdf:Description element contains the description of a resource

identified by the rdf:about attribute.

• The cd:artist element describes a property of the resource, and so

does cd:country, etc.
