[Research Library Public Lecture ] Neno/Fhat: Semantic Network Programming Language and Virtual Machine Specification by: Marko A. Rodriguez and Ryan Chute September 11th, Tuesday from 10am-12pm. San Ildefonso Room of the LANL Research Library Abstract: The Semantic Web is a highly-distributed semantic network data structure overlaid across triple-stores (i.e. graph databases) and web-servers worldwide. The 'atom' of the Semantic Web is the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). A URI uniquely identifies a resource. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a data model for representing the relationship between resources identified by URIs. These relationships are triples composed of a subject URI, a predicate URI, and an object URI. The union of all URI triples forms the URI-based semantic network data structure known as the Semantic Web. The current state of the Semantic Web is that of an environment for describing/modeling systems. However, the RDF data model is so general that it can be used to represent the more procedural aspects of a system (e.g. the rules by which the system evolves as well as the machines that execute those rules). This lecture will present the Neno semantic network programming language and the Fhat RDF virtual machine (RVM) specification. In the Neno/Fhat computing environment, human-readable Neno source code is compiled to Fhat RDF triple-code. Fhat triple-code is executed by a Fhat RVM. A Fhat RVM is a virtual machine represented in RDF. With Neno/Fhat, the Semantic Web becomes a distributed computing environment, where RVMs and triple-code can move between triple-stores to compute algorithms on the various sub-networks of the larger Semantic Web.
