Revisit "RDF is not just a data model; an RDF statement is an assertion"

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Cleanup tasks
Raised by:
David Wood
Opened on:
2011-05-03
Description:
See http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-assertion
rdfms-assertion: RDF is not just a data model; an RDF statement is an assertion.

Propose to resolve CLOSE: RDF semantics establishes that RDF statements can be
used to make claims about the world. Figuring out who exactly is
making those
assertions is beyond the scope of the core technology. Some of these
concerns may be addressed by the 'named graph' activity; others by
W3C's new
Provenance WG - http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/Main_Page - and by
other application vocabularies. See also
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/charter
for work linking cryptographically-assured notions of identity with RDF.

[LeeF]: RESOLVED: Close ISSUE-53 with no change, and with the explanation that RDF semantics establishes that RDF statements can be used to make claims about the world. Figuring out who exactly is making those assertions is beyond the scope of the core technology. Some of these concerns may be addressed by the 'named graph' activity; others by W3C's new Provenance WG - http://www.w3.org/201
