From Facts to Taxonomies

• RDF graphs are close to relational database

  • Bit other, actually, but close

• RDF alone lacks structuring

  • We know things are rdf:Properties and rdf:XMLLiteral, but not much more
  • Things can be members of classes (rdf:type), but we don’t know what classes are
  • We don’t have any class/class relations
    • Except for membership

• We can do better!

  • Add more standard meaning to certain triples

Notes:
