Contexts are • Something related to the meaning of a sentence – Provenance (who, when, where, how, etc) – Assumptions (e.g., OWA, UNA) – World – … • Claim: when a triple is published/reused/inferred, its context should be made explicit. 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 5

Wait • Don’t we already have – Named graph – C-OWL – N3 quotation – Contexts in AI –… 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 6

Named Graph Name = context Contexts are more than names Graph_RPI • One triple may be in {:LiDing :hasRole multiple contexts :ResearchScientist.} • One context may be reused • Relations between contexts need to be explicit, too. 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 7

C-OWL South Park • C-OWL provides an People ontology mapping language that respects contexts. into • Knowledge transfer is RealWorld controlled. Fictional People • Contexts are more than mapping 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 8

N3Logic rpi:LiDing says • Again, contexts are {rpi:LiDing :hasRole more than quotation. :ResearchScientist.} 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 9

Our Proposal • Based on named graph • Add two constructs • rdf:context • rdf:imports 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 10

Adding Contexts to RDF Part I: rdf:context Part II: rdf:import G1 rdf:imports G2. G rdf:context C. G1 rdf:context C1. G2 rdf:context C2. C may give a context • Importing as citation definition document • How knowledge G2 to G1 transferred from C agent LiDing. can be controlled by relations between C1 and C semantics OWL_Full C2. 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 11

Partial Reuse {s1 p1 o1.} rdf:imports {s3 p3 o3.} rdf:context C1. rdf:context C3. {s2 p2 o2.} rdf:imports rdf:context C2. C3 C3 rdfc:compatibleWith C1. C3 rdfc:incompatibleWith C2. 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 12

Reasoning with Contexts Context relations Context rules • Compatible • C is compatible with • Incompatible contexts with agent • Extend “rpi:LiDing” • In • C is compatible with contexts that are compatible with C2 Can be specified in OWL,RIF or other languages 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 13

Open Issues • Context specification – Provenance model? – Context relation vocabulary? • Formal semantics of contexts • Default contexts 6/26/2010 W3C RDF Next Steps Workshop, Stanford 14
