Enabling knowledge representation on the Web by extending RDF schema [PDF]
Recently, a widespread interest has emerged in using ontologies on the Web. Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS) is a basic tool that enables users to define vocabulary, structure and constraints for expressing meta data about Web resources. However, it includes no provisions for formal semantics, and its expressivity is not sufficient for full-

A descriptive type foundation for RDF Schema [PDF]
Abstract This paper provides a type theoretic foundation for descriptive types that appear in Linked Data. Linked Data is data published on the Web according to principles and standards supported by the W3C. Such Linked Data is inherently messy: this is due to the fact that instead of being assigned a strict a priori schema, the schema is inferred a ...

Sesame: A Generic Architecture for Storing and Querying RDF and RDF Schema [PDF]
RDF and RDF Schema are two W3C standards aimed at enriching the Web with machine-processable semantic data. We have developed Sesame, an architecture for efficient storage and expressive querying of large quantities of metadata in RDF and RDF Schema. Sesame's design and implementation are independent from any specific storage device.

Integrating ontologies and thesauri for RDF schema creation and metadata querying [PDF]
In this paper we present a new approach for building metadata schemas by integrating existing ontologies and structured vocabularies (thesauri). This integration is based on the specification of inclusion relationships between thesaurus terms and ontology concepts and results in application-specific metadata schemas incorporating the structural views ...

The SPHN Schema Forge – transform healthcare semantics from human-readable to machine-readable by leveraging semantic web technologies [PDF]
Background The Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) adopted the Resource Description Framework (RDF), a core component of the Semantic Web technology stack, for the formal encoding and exchange of healthcare data in a medical knowledge graph.

Benchmarking RDF Schemas for the Semantic Web [PDF]
Describing web resources using formal knowledge (i.e., creating metadata according to a formal representation of a domain of discourse) is the essence of the next evolution step of the Web, termed the Semantic Web. The W3C's RDF/S (Resource Description Framework/Schema Language) enables the creation and exchange of resource metadata as normal web data.

Semantics and Validation of Shapes Schemas for RDF [PDF]
We present a formal semantics and proof of soundness for shapes schemas, an expressive schema language for RDF graphs that is the foundation of Shape Expressions Language 2.0. It can be used to describe the vocabulary and the structure of an RDF graph, and to constrain the admissible properties and values for nodes in that graph. The language defines a

Containment of Shape Expression Schemas for RDF [PDF]
We study the problem of containment for shape expression schemas (ShEx) for RDF graphs. We identify a subclass of ShEx that has a natural graphical representation in the form of shape graphs and their semantics is captured with a tractable notion of embedding of an RDF graph in a shape graph.
