CDEP Examples in RDF

From Decision XG
Jump to: navigation, search

The Common Decision Exchange Protocol version 4 is an XML format for representing decisions. The CDEP was developed as an initial XML-based format and is of some interest for purposes of considering the types of components one might want to represent to manage decisions effectively. The format was designed to be modular, generic for any type of decision-making, concise (where components could be simply referenced by URL) or expandable with additional detail, and human readable in terms of element names. The XML format is provided in the link above. Some examples are provided below as a mini-tutorial. (Note: The URLs are not active and are for example only.)

These examples are in RDF/XML format. You can copy paste any of these examples and test them in the RDF Validator which will show you the resulting triples and a pictorial view of the generated graph.
