This lecture elaborates on RDF, RDFS, and SOAP starting from a short recap of XML, and the history of the W3C and the development of "open standard recommendations". We also compare RDF triples with DOGMA lexons. We finalise by listing shortcomings of RDFS regarding semantics, and give short overview of the history of OWL as one answer to this. A full elaboration on OWL and description logic is for another lecture.
OWL reasoner engines can contribute with the semantic enrichment over ontologies. The manner in which this knowledge is represented in OWL has been an obstacle to incorporate this semantic features in the object-oriented paradigms. JASB architecture pretends to be a bridge for joining this two different worlds. This platform offers a connection point in which the object instances of the object-oriented programming could have semantic features provides by mean of the reasoning processes available in OWL arena.
The architecture is composed by two clearly differenciated tools, each one is focussing on different objective.
In the logical sequence of a software development, the first tool covers the statical aspect of the inclusion of semantic features into object-oriented application. Thus, in the following picture can be seen the architecture for thisthe first tool, the JASB compiler.
This is ontoworld.org, the wiki for the Semantic Web community. Our mission is to provide a knowledge repository and platform for advertising events, spreading news, and announcing new developments. It is a wiki: everybody can quickly edit its content, even without logging in. So look around and participate!
