On formal semantics for RDF(S) and
OWL
-
RDF(S) and OWL are (relatively) complicated specifications
-
An unambiguous
interpretation of the standard is
very important
-
- this was missing from the 1st version of RDF which did lead to
some problems…
-
This means a formal semantics
of these
languages
-
All details of a formal semantics are not interesting for all
users
-
- most programming languages, query languages, etc, have a formal
semantics; programmers happily use those tools without knowing
about the formal semantics
- …but it is very
useful to have an idea about
it!
