ISSUE-33: Specification of data sources in RIF [NOT CP]
Specification of data sources in RIF [NOT CP]
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Technical Design (multiple dialects/documents)
- Raised by:
- Deborah Nichols
- Opened on:
- 2007-04-10
- Description:
- [Modified by Dave Reynolds to reflect f2f7 discussion.]
We believe that RIF should support the ability for a ruleset to refer to
external data sets (not included as RIF facts inline with the ruleset).
Sometimes the data is local to the application, sometimes a specific external
data set must be referenced. If so:
(a) We require a mechanism by which such specific external data sets can be
specified.
(b) We also need to specify the data model associated with such data sets and,
in the case of RDF, any associated entailment regimes.
Both of these issues are discussed in
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Arch/Data_Sets where a metadata vocabulary
has been proposed.
The issue is open since we have not yet formally agreed that either or both of
these capabilities are indeed needed, nor have we formally agreed on the
proposed metadata vocabulary.

Related notes:
At the 5/13 telecon, it was decided to remove this from the BLD critical path, as far as the BLD LC is concerned, this is covered by the imports mechanism, which addresses How to refer to an RDF graph or OWL ontology to be discussed, in relation with issues 39 and 46, and "RIF must cover OWL knowledge bases as data where compatible with Phase 1 semantics [http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-ucr#head-00af171291da9307092aedaa46d1e954a5249260] OWL data]) and "RIF must cover RDF triples as data where compatible with Phase 1 semantics" ([http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-ucr#head-16f15a1617fbf2695f103677a0d15750092a9b55 RDF data])
RESOLVED: Close issue-33 with the understand that our mechanisms for accessing RDF and XML data sources, and using externals, will be sufficient.
