| + | Semantic Web has emerged as a prominent field with [https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/ RDF], [https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/ RDFS], [https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/ SPARQL], and [https://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-overview/ OWL] as W3C standards for knowledge representation and reasoning. Knowledge, considered as a set of facts, is represented as a set of RDF triples in the RDF data model. This simple data model serves as the foundational concept in the syntax and semantics of RDF, RDFS, SPARQL, and OWL. These W3C standards have been continuously improved for meeting demands of practical applications and tools. One major requirement raised by Semantic Web practitioners is the ability to associate the contextual metadata such as provenance, time, or location to a fact, or a triple. This requirement is a challenge to the foundations of Semantic Web, as RDF triple is the foundational concept and currently there is no ''formal'' concept to represent the triple itself. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Formal research | ||
| + | My dissertation addresses this challenge and proposes a formal concept, called ''singleton property'', to represent a specific relationship between two resources within a context. In other words, the triple is contextualized by the contextual metadata associated with its singleton property.

- Dissertation title (tentative)
Singleton Property: A Formal Approach for Representing, Querying, and Reasoning with RDF Contextualized Triples
- Background
Semantic Web has emerged as a prominent field with RDF, RDFS, SPARQL, and OWL as W3C standards for knowledge representation and reasoning. Knowledge, considered as a set of facts, is represented as a set of RDF triples in the RDF data model. This simple data model serves as the foundational concept in the syntax and semantics of RDF, RDFS, SPARQL, and OWL. These W3C standards have been continuously improved for meeting demands of practical applications and tools. One major requirement raised by Semantic Web practitioners is the ability to associate the contextual metadata such as provenance, time, or location to a fact, or a triple. This requirement is a challenge to the foundations of Semantic Web, as RDF triple is the foundational concept and currently there is no formal concept to represent the triple itself.
- Formal research
My dissertation addresses this challenge and proposes a formal concept, called singleton property, to represent a specific relationship between two resources within a context. In other words, the triple is contextualized by the contextual metadata associated with its singleton property. For the detail about the approach and examples, please refer to the following slides, which is made out of [SP1].
