OWL Extensions to RDFS

• Constructing classes: – e.g.,

• Constructing properties: – e.g., inverseOf

• Property characteristics: – e.g., transitive, functional, symmetric

• Mapping– Equality, non-equality (between classes, properties, ind.)

Direct MT Sem. vs RDF MT Sem.

• Direct Model-Theoretical Semantics– For OWL DL (thus also OWL Lite)– Simpler than the RDF MT Semantics– Corresponds to the semantics of DL SHOIN(D)– Decidability guaranteed

• RDF-Compatible Model-Theoretical Semantics– For OWL Full (thus also OWL DL and OWL Lite)– Extends RDFS Semantics

OWL Full vs OWL DLOWL-DL OWL Full

Relation to RDFS universe

owl:Thing <=rdfs:Resourceowl:Class <= rdfs:ClassP <= rdf:Property

owl:Thing = rdfs:Resourceowl:Class = rdfs:ClassP = rdf:Property

Pairwise Disjointness

Yes No

Decidability Yes No

P is the union of owl:ObjectProperty, owl:DatatypeProperty, owl:AnnotationProperty, and owl:OntologyProperty

Note: in OWL Full, an element can be an individual (owl:Thing element), a class (owl:Class element) and an property (P element) at the same time.

ConclusionsRDFS Plus• A scalable rule subset of OWL Full, with MT semantics• Equality + Property Characteristics• Has extensional semantic conditions (while RDFS has not)

OWL Full• Extends RDFS Plus, with MT semantics• OWL Full universe = RDFS universe

– rdfs:Class = owl:Class ; rdfs:Resource = owl:Thing; owl:ObjectProperty <= rdf:Property

• No distinction between classes, properties and individuals
