RDF - RDF Schema - OWL references

latest update: 29 August 2011

Introduction

The material shown hereafter is a re-arrangement of texts found in the W3C Recommendations:

OWL Web Ontology Language Overview, 10 February 2004
OWL Web Ontology Language Guide, 10 February 2004
OWL Web Ontology Language Reference, 10 February 2004
OWL Web Ontology Language Semantics and Abstract Syntax, 10 February 2004
OWL Web Ontology Language Test Cases, 10 February 2004
Resource Description Framework (RDF): Concepts and Abstract Syntax, 10 February 2004
RDF Semantics, 10 February 2004
RDF Primer, 10 February 2004
RDF Vocabulary Description Language 1.0: RDF Schema, 10 February 2004
RDF/XML Syntax Specification (Revised), 10 February 2004
RDF Test Cases, 10 February 2004

For each entity type information has been collected in a uniform manner.

Next to that a graphical presention of the entity types in the form of graphs is given.

Graphical Representations of RDF/RDFS/OWL entity types

Below diagrams are given that represent the entity types defined for RDF, RDF Schema, and for OWL.

Also the formal listings are given (click here), as contained in the related W3C Recommendations.

By clicking on an entity type (light yellow) further information is accessible on that entity type, predominantly taken from the various W3C Recommendations.

By clicking on a reference (light brown) the diagram where the referenced entity type is defined is shown.

The graphs are ordered as follows:

Basic OWL set-up
RDFS and OWL Classes
RDF and RDFS Properties
OWL Properties [1]
OWL Properties [2]
RDF Syntax Terms

In cases where a conflict between this material and the above W3C Recommendations might occur, the latter are leading and normative.
