Updated Representing Content in RDF






Hi all,

As per my last action item, here comes an update on the «Representing 
Content in RDF» document. As agreed, the abstract and introduction have 
been reworked, integrating sections that were too short in the previous 
draft.

I also converted into a list the scenarios of Section 3.

regards,
carlos

1. Introduction
This document is the specification for a vocabulary to represent Content 
in RDF. There is a wide variety of scenarios (see section below) where a 
description of any type of content, either on the Web or in any local 
storage media, is necessary. This specification provides an RDF 
application that allows a semantic description of such content. The 
vocabulary is built in a flexible manner, thus there are no limitations 
known at the time of writing this specification. It also provides 
opportunities for extensions to match particular needs of its users.
This document assumes the following background knowledge:
Basic knowledge of XML [XML] and its associated technologies.
Basic knowledge about the Semantic Web and RDF. For references, consult 
[RDF], [RDF-PRIMER] and [RDFS].
Although the concepts of the Semantic Web are simple, their abstraction 
with RDF is known to bring difficulties to beginners. It is recommended to 
read carefully the aforementioned references and other tutorials found on 
the Web. It must be also borne in mind that RDF is primarily targeted to 
be machine processable, and therefore, some of its expressions are not 
very intuitive for developers used to work with XML only. The examples 
will be serialized using the abbreviated RDF/XML notation.
The keywords must, required, recommended, should, may, and optional are 
used in accordance with [RFC2119].
1.1. Namespaces
Table 1 presents the namespaces typically used by this vocabulary (rdfs 
and owl namespaces are normally only used in the schema). The core 
namespace has the URI http://www.w3.org/2007/content# and the prefix cnt. 
The prefix notation presents the typical conventions used in the Web and 
in this document to denote a given namespace, and can be freely modified.

cnt
http://www.w3.org/2007/content#
The default namespace for Representing Content in RDF.

Default RDF schema namespace [RDFS].
owl
http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#

1.2. Use cases
As stated earlier, this framework is designed in an open way to facilitate 
different implementation scenarios. The origin of the application comes 
from vocabularies describing testing scenarios like EARL [EARL]. Typical 
applications could be:
Applications dealing with retrieval, editing and storage of content. For 
example, an archiving application could store in a database annotated 
media content that includes a serialization of the media files with this 
vocabulary.
Applications dealing with the exchange of text documents and other types 
of media, like Web Services. For example, an AJAX application could 
exchange document fragments and images with a Web server to react to 
different user actions.
Applications dealing with the testing and/or repair of content. For 
example, an accessibility testing tool could store together with the 
results of a compliance test, the tested Web resources to ensure that the 
correct version of the tested subject is available to the developers
This list is not exclusive and several other scenarios could be developed.
2. Vocabulary usage: classes and properties
This section presents a description of the classes and properties of this 
RDF vocabulary. We present every class together with its properties and 
subclasses. We also include whenever relevant short snippets and examples.
2.1. Content class
The Content class is an overarching class with no properties. It is 
recommended always to use one of its subclasses. A resource of type 
Content represents any content that could be found on the Web, in an 
Intranet or in local storage media, for example. There is no restriction 
within the vocabulary scope on what can be represented with this class: 
textual content, binary files (e.g., images or movies), XML files, etc.
There are three subclasses from the Content class: Base64Content, 
TextContent and XMLContent.
2.2. Base64Content class
The Base64Content class is a subclass of the Content class. A resource of 
type Base64Content represents Base64 encoded binary content (as defined by 
[RFC2045]) and can be used for any type of content, although its more 
typical use case is for binary files.
The following property may appear in resources of type Base64Content (with 
a maximum cardinality of 1):
characterEncoding
If the byte sequence was created from a given character sequence this 
property can be used to store the character encoding that was applied to 
create the byte sequence.
The following property must appear in resources of type Base64Content:
bytes
Character string representing the Base64 encoded byte sequence of the 
given content.
Example 2.1: This example displays the representation of the W3C logo as a 
Base64Content resource. (Note: due to its length, the encoded string has 
been chunked until {...}.)
<rdf:RDF
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:cnt="http://www.w3.org/2007/content#">

  <cnt:Base64Content rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_home.png">
 <cnt:bytes>77+9UE5HDQoaCgAAAA1JSERSAAAASAAAADAIAwAAAO+{...}</cnt:bytes>
  </cnt:Base64Content>

</rdf:RDF>
2.3. TextContent class
The TextContent class is a subclass of the Content class. A resource of 
type TextContent represents any type of textual content.
The following property may appear in resources of type TextContent (with a 
maximum cardinality of 1):
characterEncoding
If the character sequence was created from a given byte sequence this 
property can be used to store the character encoding that was applied to 
create the character sequence.
The following property must appear in resources of type TextContent:
chars
Character string representing the character sequence of the given content.
Example 2.2: The following example represents a CSS file as a TextContent 
resource.
<rdf:RDF
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:cnt="http://www.w3.org/2007/content#">

  <cnt:TextContent rdf:about="http://example.org/example.css">
    <cnt:characterEncoding>UTF-8</cnt:characterEncoding>
    <cnt:chars>body {
  color: #000;
  background: #fff
}
h1 {
  font-size: 1.6em
}
h2 {
  font-size: 1.3em
}</cnt:chars>
  </cnt:TextContent>

</rdf:RDF>
2.4. XMLContent class
The XMLContent class is a subclass of the Content class. A resource of 
type XMLContent represents XML content.
The following properties may appear in resources of type XMLContent (with 
a maximum cardinality of 1):
characterEncoding
If the parser's input character stream was created from a given byte 
stream this property can be used to store the character encoding that was 
applied to create the character stream. Note: This is the used character 
encoding, not the one declared in an XML declaration.
xmlDecl
Property pointing to an XMLDecl resource representing the XML declaration.
xmlLeadingMisc
Property representing as an XML Literal the part of the XML (comments and 
processing instructions) following the XML declaration and preceding the 
document type declaration if there is one.
doctypeDecl
Property pointing to a DoctypeDecl resource representing the document type 
declaration.
The following property must appear in resources of type XMLContent:
xmlRest
Property representing as an XML Literal 
the part of the XML following the document type declaration if there is a 
document type declaration, or
the part following the XML declaration if there is no document type 
declaration, or
the whole XML if there is neither XML declaration nor document type 
declaration.
It contains comments, processing instructions and the root element.
Example 2.3: The XHTML page with the following source code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>The title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Some paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html>
could be represented as this XMLContent resource.
<rdf:RDF
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:cnt="http://www.w3.org/2007/content#">

  <cnt:XMLContent rdf:about="http://example.org/example203.html">
    <cnt:xmlRest rdf:parseType="Literal"><html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>The title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Some paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html>
</cnt:xmlRest>
  </cnt:XMLContent>

</rdf:RDF>
For the use of xmlDecl, xmlLeadingMisc and doctypeDecl see 2.7. A 
practical example.
2.5. XMLDecl class
A resource of type XMLDecl represents an XML declaration. This class is 
normally used in conjunction with the XMLContent class, when the 
corresponding XML file has an XML declaration. The resources are linked 
via the xmlDecl property.
The following properties may appear in resources of type XMLDecl:
xmlEncoding
Property representing the character encoding specified in the XML 
declaration.
xmlStandalone
Property representing the standalone document declaration.
The following property must appear in resources of type XMLDecl:
xmlVersion
Property representing the XML version specified in the XML declaration.
Example 2.4: A typical XML declaration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
Can be expressed as the following XMLDecl resource:
<rdf:RDF
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:cnt="http://www.w3.org/2007/content#">

  <cnt:XMLDecl rdf:ID="xmld0">
    <cnt:xmlStandalone>no</cnt:xmlStandalone>
    <cnt:xmlEncoding>UTF-8</cnt:xmlEncoding>
    <cnt:xmlVersion>1.0</cnt:xmlVersion>
  </cnt:XMLDecl>

</rdf:RDF>
2.6. DoctypeDecl class
A resource of type DoctypeDecl represents a document type declaration. 
Likewise XMLDecl, this class is normally used in conjunction with the 
XMLContent class, when the corresponding XML file has a document type 
declaration. The resources are linked via the doctypeDecl property.
The following properties may appear in resources of type DoctypeDecl:
publicId
Property representing the formal public identifier.
systemId
Property representing the system identifier.
internalSubset
Property representing the internal subset.
The following property must appear in resources of type DoctypeDecl:
doctypeName
Property representing the document type name.
Example 2.5: A typical XHTML 1.0 Strict document type declaration:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
could be represented as the following DoctypeDecl resource:
<rdf:RDF
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:cnt="http://www.w3.org/2007/content#">

  <cnt:DoctypeDecl rdf:ID="dtd0">
 
<cnt:systemId>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd</cnt:systemId>
    <cnt:publicId>-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN</cnt:publicId>
    <cnt:doctypeName>html</cnt:doctypeName>
  </cnt:DoctypeDecl>

</rdf:RDF>
2.7. A practical example
To understand the versatility of the vocabulary, let us assume we have a 
given XHTML page containing an XML declaration, a comment preceding a 
document type declaration and some XHTML elements.
Example 2.6: A typical XHTML page.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!-- this is a comment -->
<!DOCTYPE html "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>The title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Some paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html>
This page could be represented as simple TextContent:
<rdf:RDF
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:cnt="http://www.w3.org/2007/content#">

  <cnt:TextContent rdf:about="http://example.org/example207.html">
    <cnt:chars>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" 
?&gt;
&lt;!-- this is a comment --&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE html "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt;
&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;The title&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Some paragraph.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;</cnt:chars>
  </cnt:TextContent>

</rdf:RDF>
or likewise as XMLContent. The information from the XML declaration is 
modelled as an XMLDecl resource and refered to from the XMLContent 
resource by the xmlDecl property. As the comment <!-- this is a comment 
--> precedes the document type declaration a xmlLeadingMisc property is 
created with its object literal containing the comment. The document type 
declaration is modelled as a DoctypeDecl resource and refered to from the 
XMLContent resource by the doctypeDecl property.
<rdf:RDF
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:cnt="http://www.w3.org/2007/content#"
    xml:base="http://example.org/example208.html">

  <cnt:DoctypeDecl rdf:ID="dtd0">
 
<cnt:systemId>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd</cnt:systemId>
    <cnt:publicId>-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN</cnt:publicId>
    <cnt:doctypeName>html</cnt:doctypeName>
  </cnt:DoctypeDecl>

  <cnt:XMLDecl rdf:ID="xmld0">
    <cnt:xmlStandalone>no</cnt:xmlStandalone>
    <cnt:xmlEncoding>UTF-8</cnt:xmlEncoding>
    <cnt:xmlVersion>1.0</cnt:xmlVersion>
  </cnt:XMLDecl>

  <cnt:XMLContent rdf:about="#">
    <cnt:xmlLeadingMisc rdf:parseType="Literal"><!-- this is a comment 
--></cnt:xmlLeadingMisc>
    <cnt:doctypeDecl rdf:resource="#dtd0" />
    <cnt:xmlDecl rdf:resource="#xmld0" />
    <cnt:xmlRest rdf:parseType="Literal"><html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>The title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Some paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html></cnt:xmlRest>
  </cnt:XMLContent>

</rdf:RDF>
3. When to create which resources?
We have identified some situations to make clear when to create which type 
of content resources. The following are only recommendations and are 
non-normative:
Situation A: Given the byte sequence of non-text content (byteSeq) read 
from a file system. A cnt:Base64Content resource may be created with a 
cnt:bytes property with an object literal created from byteSeq. But no 
cnt:TextContent resource must be created, although in some cases it is 
technically possible to create a character sequence from the byte sequence 
byteSeq using some character encoding.
Situation B: Given the byte sequence of text content (byteSeq) received 
from a Web server and an appropriate character encoding (ce). A 
cnt:Base64Content resource may be created with a cnt:bytes property with 
an object literal created from byteSeq. After transforming byteSeq to 
character sequence charSeq using character encoding ce, a cnt:TextContent 
resource may be created with cnt:chars property with an object literal 
charSeq and cnt:characterEncoding property with an object literal ce.
Situation C: Given the byte sequence of text content (byteSeq) received 
from a Web server and an inappropriate character encoding (ce). A 
cnt:Base64Content resource may be created with a cnt:bytes property with 
an object literal created from byteSeq. Because transforming byteSeq to a 
character sequence charSeq using character encoding ce fails, no 
cnt:TextContent resource can be created.
Situation D: Given the character sequence of text content (charSeq) 
created in memory and an appropriate character encoding (ce). A 
cnt:TextContent resource may be created with a cnt:chars property with an 
object literal created from charSeq. After transforming charSeq to byte 
sequence byteSeq using character encoding ce, a cnt:Base64Content resource 
may be created with cnt:bytes property with an object literal byteSeq and 
cnt:characterEncoding property with an object literal ce.
Situation E: Given the byte sequence of wellformed XML content (byteSeq) 
received from a Web server and an appropriate character encoding (ce). 
cnt:Base64Content and cnt:TextContent resources may be created as in 
situation B. Additionally, an cnt:XMLContent resource may be created.
Situation F: Given a DOM Document in memory, originally created by parsing 
some XML source, but afterwards changed by DOM operations. A cnt:XMLDecl 
resource may be created from the information in the Document node itself, 
and a cnt:DoctypeDecl resource from the information in the DocumentType 
node. A cnt:XMLContent resource may be created after serializing the 
relevant child nodes of the Document node (1. Comment and 
ProcessingInstruction nodes preceding a DocumentType node, and 2. nodes 
following a DocumentType node) to create object literals for 
cnt:xmlLeadingMisc and cnt:xmlRest. See the Mapping between DOM and the 
Content-in-RDF vocabulary.
4. Open issues and extensions
The vocabulary provides a framework that allows the representation of any 
type of content. Of course, there are many possibilities for extensions 
that will allow the inclusion of additional metadata, like, e.g., that 
included in some multimedia formats. Typical scenarios for extensions 
could be:
Classes to specify the Document Object Model (DOM) of XML or HTML 
documents.
Classes to specify the metadata of multimedia content like audio or image 
files.
Properties to ensure the integrity of data by providing some kind of 
checksum algorithm.
However, at the point of writing this specification, the Working Group has 
decided to provide the basic framework that will support the immediate 
needs of vocabularies using this specification like EARL [EARL], leaving 
the room open for further extensions as new use cases are presented to us.
