Hi, The announcement of the Linked Data Patterns book[1] prompted me to raise this question, which I haven't yet seen discussed on its own. If I'm missing something, please point me to the relevant archives. The question is: should publishers of RDF data explicitly include (materialize) triples that are implied by the ontologies or rules used; and if yes, to what extent? For example, should it be exspecies:14119 skos:prefLabel "Jellyfish" . ex:bob a foaf:Person . or exspecies:14119 skos:prefLabel "Jellyfish" ; rdfs:label "Jellyfish" . ex:bob a foaf:Person , foaf:Agent . ? The reason I find this worthy of attention is because there seems to be a gap between simple RDF processing and reasoning. It's easy to find an RDF library for your favourite language, fill a graph with some data and do useful things with it, but it's somewhat harder to set up proper RDFS/OWL reasoning over it, not to mention the added requirements for computational power. I think this is one area where a general "best practice" or design pattern can be developed. [1] http://patterns.dataincubator.org/book/ -- Vasiliy Faronov
