Tom,
In today's teleconference, you mentioned the benefit of being able to
visualize the triples and referred to this presentation with RDF graphs
as an example:
http://dublincore.org/resources/training/NISO_Webinar_20100825/dcmi-webi
nar-02.pdf
The thing that bothers me about RDF graphs is that they give the
impression that the model is completely ad hoc.
Using the "Under the hood" slide, I create a UML class diagram variant
that I think reveals this example's (implied) model more clearly (see
the attached diagram).
Another example can be found in my "Bridging OWL and UML" use case:
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Use_Case_Bridging_OWL_and_UML#
Application_of_linked_data_for_the_given_use_case
I've started capturing as many OWL ontologies in UML as I can, which
makes them very easy to work with.
Jeff
