rdfs

I would like to know if SPARQL, by default, adopts the open world assumption or if this depends on the triple stores that execute the SPARQL queries. And what are the implications of this assumption in queries. Best regards. Well.... I wonder whether this is really a good question for this site. I think not, but I'm gonna throw a few cents into the bucket anyway. To start with -- does it matter whether SPARQL "adopts" (and what does that mean, to you?) OWA, and, if so, why? Then, to address @AKSW's comment -- W3 differs with @AKSW's assertion, in at least the RDF 1.0 Spec (granted, that has

In this document https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/#ch_introduction it is written: rdfs:Resource is an instance of rdfs:Class. however it is also written: This is the class of everything is this a typo? can a class be an instance ? That's actually an interesting question. I just want to add to your comment in CaptSolo's answer: but can I define my custom classes as instances of an instance? ( i highly doubt that ) It's not so much a question of whether you "can" do something or not (at least not in this case), but rather whether what you do will make sense. After all the Semantic Web was built

I am trying to understand the semantics of rdfs domain and range. Because I am from an object oriented background, I am struggling to understand the semantics and how to validate data against the rdfs statements. Here is a sample file in turtle format: PREFIX owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> prefix tmpl: <http://template.example.com/> prefix data: <http://data.example.com/> tmpl:Thing a owl:Class. tmpl:Employment rdfs:subClassOf tmpl:TemporalThing. tmpl:Party rdfs:subClassOf tmpl

I want to configure Fuseki with an inference model supported by TDB. I have been able to configure it with a Memory Model, but not with a TDB Model where I could update triples. I am using the following assembler description: @prefix tdb: <http://jena.hpl.hp.com/2008/tdb#> . @prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> . @prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> . @prefix ja: <http://jena.hpl.hp.com/2005/11/Assembler#> . @prefix tdb: <http://jena.hpl.hp.com/2008/tdb#> . [] ja:loadClass "com.hp.hpl.jena.tdb.TDB" . tdb:DatasetTDB rdfs:subClassOf ja:RDFDataset . tdb

What is the difference between rdf:seeAlso and rdfs:seeAlso ? When I can use rdf:seeAlso and when I can use rdfs:seeAlso ? Can you do any examples? First, note that rdf and rdfs are prefixes commonly used to reference the RDF syntax and RDF schema vocabularies respectively. The rdf is typically used for http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# , so that rdf:seeAlso would expand to http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#seeAlso . However, if you follow the vocabulary reference, you won't find a term defined for seeAlso . The RDF syntax is used for basic types such as rdf:type, rdf
