Search Results for "interoperability"

Features of RDF In general, RDF provides the basis for generic tools for authoring, manipulating, and searching machine understandable data on the Web thereby promoting the transformation of the Web into a machine-processable repository of information. RDF provides the following features: - interoperability of metadata - machine understandable semantics for metadata - better precision in resource discovery than full text search - future-proofing applications as schemas evolve Further development will enable RDF to also provide: - a uniform

Introduction The Resource Description Framework (RDF) - developed by the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - provides the foundation for metadata interoperability across different resource description communities. One of the major obstacles facing the resource description community is the multiplicity of incompatible standards for metadata syntax and schema definition languages. This has lead to the lack of, and low deployment of, cross-discipline applications and services for the resource description communities. RDF provides a solution to these

With more and more Metadata standards or schemas used in various projects, the need of encoding, searching, and exchanging different Metadata sets in one interface becomes much more important. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is being developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to provide an infrastructure for the interoperability of Metadata in a wide range of applications. Every Metadata must define the syntax, semantics, and structure of its elements for its applications. Using XML (eXtensible Markup Language) as its common syntax,

This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and other interested parties and has been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative reference from other documents. W3C's role in making the Recommendation is to draw attention to the specification and to promote its widespread deployment. This enhances the functionality and interoperability of the Web. The list of know errors in this specification is available at

We recommend that certain principles guide any work to define a framework for Web services semantics. Our work is guided by the following principles. ? Build on existing Web Services standards: The Web services standards are fast becoming a preferred technology for application integration because of the promise of their interoperability. Companies are making investments in integration projects based on Web Services. Therefore, we believe that any approach to adding semantics to Web Services should be specified in an upwardly compatible
