Knowledge Representation
- Traditional AI methods have been centralized: one ontology,
one set of inference rules, one program. They work!
- SW accepts that paradoxes and unanswerable questions are the
price to pay for versatility. SW is to KR as the web is to a
database system.
- SW focuses on openness and interoperability above all else
(e.g., functionality).
- As such, it champions XML as the syntax and the Resource
Description Framework (RDF) as the semantic language.
- RDF is "logically simple". It encodes meaning in triples:
subject, verb, and object.
