Dear Andrey, Wolfram and Jens Jakob, Thanks for your answers, they are very helpful and interesting! RuleML is very impressive, Jess and SWI-Prolog based RDF Schema explorer are absolutely cool! I am glad now that I slightly misformulated my question :-) Actually, I originally started pondering over a sort of "orthogonal reification". (sorry for using this "r" word here, could not find any better :-)) Lets say I have a property "niece" I wanted to be able to use RDF means to represent the fact that s1 - {niece} - o1 can be expanded to: s1 - {sibling - o/s - daughter} - o1 RuleML, Jess and SWI-Prolog seam to introduce their own semantics on the top of RDF. I was seeking for ways to express this rather basic fact using bare RDF(S)/DAML syntax. My starting point was that if it is (arguably) possible to reify {s-p-o} triple as a resource, why shouldn't it be possible for {p-o/s-p} ? (More appropriately, perhaps, the subject of my message should have been "property reification rule") Thanks again, --Nikita.Received on Tuesday, 6 November 2001 10:04:43 UTC
