Peer to Peer

RDF Schema Navigator

• Vocabulary/Ontology development is non-trivial
• Re-use rather than reinvent
• Difficult sometime to know whats vocabularies are avaliable for what purpose
• Difficult sometime to know how terms relate within a vocabulary or among vocabularies
• Tools that can harvest vocabularies and provide query and navigation services over vocabularies are helpful in supporting vocabulary re-use.
• Basic purpose behind RDF Schema Navigator
• Vocabularies change, navigation changes (simple Peer to Peer)
• Technologies can be extended to many applications areas (e.g. tools seem similar to Topicmap navigation environments)
