Jan Winkler asks: >Why is there nothing like if and else [in RDF] ? I think James Tauber has shown a way to do this in RDF. But I still have some questions about what representing a "if then\else" relation in a RDF model might mean: Doesn't the "if <class> then <value>" construct need to be relative to some active process? For example: if the RDF model knows {Seth isA Male} and {Male addressedBy "Mr"} and {[; young Male] addressedBy "boy"}, what is the value of the <value> ? In other words: me thinks we will need to put the OO programming model in the RDF scheme of things before we will be able to do anything useful with a "if\then" construct. But I don't see any reason we shouldn't, I just don't know anybody who has .... do you? SethReceived on Saturday, 28 April 2001 12:32:10 GMT
