Why are RDF containers (rdf:Seq etc.) so little appreciated?

2010-02-13 Thread Axel Rauschmayer
In contrast to RDF collections (rdf:List), they have a stable identity and don't use nested resources (=easy to remove). Furthermore, standard RDFS inferencing can be used to infer membership as the property rdfs:member. Yet, most RDF vocabularies that I know of use collections and syntaxes

Jeremy I also agree with Dan's post and it adds a lot of insights however I dont think the paper necessarily 'misrepresents' rather, it provides a partial view , IMHO statistical analyses tend to present skewed views of the world in all fields nobody in their right mind would take at face

In defence of Ying Ding, mapping out the academic citation material is worthwhile, but I do tend to agree with Dan and Jeremy in that it's only part of the picture (and almost certainly not the major part). While I could have a good old rant about the role played by enthusiastic amateurs (which

Yes, I agree that in order to get a really good overview of the semantic web community, we need to look at broader range of publications, such as DBLP, Arnetminer, Google Scholars. But believe it or not, the formal judge of the scholarly contribution (especially for tenure promotions), most of

Irrespective, don't you think HTML or even better an RDF (re. your data sources) would be sort of congruent with this entire effort? Dan and others could have just slotted URIs into the RDF etc.. and the resource could just grow and evenly rid itself of its current contextual short-comings

2010-02-13 Thread Pat Hayes
Im not sure what you mean by 'stable identity', but the chief problem with containers is the fact that there is no way to 'close' them. If I say that FOO is a container and A, B and C are in it, there is no way to say that this is *all* that is in it. This makes them useless for encoding
