** HP-5 Definition/implementation of RDFS, SKOS and similar semantics * Outline The RDF(S) specification [1] includes an informative description of the semantics using a rule notation. Many implementers implement from this rule-based specification. The SKOS vocabulary specification [2] includes a (small) number of properties whose semantics are defined by using RDF rules. Several applications of SKOS or SKOS-like vocabularies (e.g. [3]) use RDF rules to implement such semantics. Generalizing from these, there is a use case for expressing additional semantics of RDF vocabularies using rules. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/ [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-skos-core-spec/ [3] http://www.swed.org.uk/swed/index.html * Implications Ability handle RDF constructs such as containers. A legible surface syntax so that the rules can be published in human-readable specifications.
