No, there is nothing to prevent using imports in instance files, and some in the WebOnt WG (particularly me) believe it is necessary. In my DAML+OIL instance files, I've always had something like: <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns = "http://www.daml.org/2001/03/daml+oil#" xmlns:daml = "http://www.daml.org/2001/03/daml+oil#" xmlns:cs = "http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/plus/DAML/onts/cs1.0.daml#" > <rdf:Description about=""> <imports resource="http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/plus/DAML/onts/cs1.0.daml" /> </rdf:Description> <!-- RDF statements go here --> </rdf:RDF> For examples, see http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/plus/DAML/#content Jeff Heflin Danny Ayers wrote: > > >> Is there RDF vocabulary somewhere to tell a processor "also > >> retrieve and include this other RDF-containing file" > > owl:imports allows one *ontology* to include another : > > http://www.daml.org/2002/06/webont/owl-ref-proposed#imports-def > > But I would guess there's nothing to stop this being used within instance > files - is there? > > Cheers, > Danny. > > --- > Danny Ayers > <stuff> http://www.isacat.net </stuff> > > Idea maps for the Semantic Web > http://ideagraph.net > > >
