Using RDF(S) to provide multiple views into a single ontology
Santtu Toivonen · International Semantic Web Conference · 2001
This paper deals with RDF (Resource Description Framework). The main point is to present a general model describing when and how to exploit RDF technology. It is suggested that RDF(S) functions best as a means to provide mechanisms for expressing contextual and case-specific information. In other words, RDF(S) is suitable for providing different views into a single extensive ontology, rather than specifying the actual ontology. The ontology behind the case-specific RDF(S) is li kely to be expressed using some other mechanism than RDF(S).
