The creation of RDF raises the prospect of a widely accepted standard for representing expressive declarative knowledge on the Web. However, just representing knowledge and information is not enough: users as well as information agents have to query and use the data in several ways. An RDF Query specification would allow a range of applicat ions to exploit any information source which can be represented in terms of the RDF data model. In this paper we describe some existing techniques used in logic program evaluation and see how RDF descriptions fit into this framework.
