Folks,
I've finally managed to scrape together some of my thoughts about RDF and
contexts into a document:
http://public.research.mimesweeper.com/RDF/RDFContexts.html
I have focused entirely on the RDF model, rather than its syntax. I
believe the proposals made can be handled fully within the current RDF
model, even though I propose an extended model as a basis for discussion
(and, incidentally, for our implementation).
I have tried to work from the basic 'ist' ("is true in") relationship as
developed by John McCarthy and R V Guha, though I may have taken it in
directions they did not intend.
We are planning to experiment with using this approach to assist a number
of purposes:
- representing relationships between RDF statements and documents that
contain them
- trust modelling
- describing nested or composite resources
- modelling physical-world object relationships
... and maybe more?
Comments are welcome. Enjoy!
