How does it work? Ontologies and W3C Standards
- Resource Description Framework (RDF) -- allows to make
statements about "resources" (anything that has a URI).
- RDF Schema (RDFS) -- allows to build more types of statements that can
be made about RDF data.
- Triples -- a convenient and simple serialization of RDF in the
form of (subject, predicate, object)
- DAML (technically DAML+OIL [DARPA Agent Markup Language+Ontology
Inference Layers] and more technically OWL [Ontology Web Language]) -- allows us to define "ontologies"; definitions of concepts that we refer to when marking up our documents and data.
- Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSLT) -- a transformation language.
