What RDF is not
- RDF obviously cannot
provide the third requirement: lots
of meta-described documents
- More subtly, RDF is
not a knowledge representation system.
- There is no notion of what a
conformant RDF application might do other than identify and
normalise metadata.
- We can easily read much more
into RDF annotations than is computationally there.
- The W3C's Semantic Web activity is only just beginning to tackle
some of what's needed in this area:
- A logic with inference rules
- A real model theory
- An inference engine
