Information query and integration based on distributed RDF(S) model

Abstract

In the cases of Web applications, RDF(S) can be used to semantically describe the distributed information sources in enterprises to make the information retrieval more accurate. In this paper, a distributed RDF(S) model is presented to describe distributed and heterogeneous RDF(S)s. Based on this model, a method to query distributed RDF(S) descriptions is also presented, which can retrieve data of concepts as well as that of instances. By this method, users can retrieve RDF(S) descriptions and the information they describe in the same way and implement distributed RDF(S)s' integration.
