I referenced this on the SIOC-Dev mailing list recently, and when I pasted it on the DataPortability.org steering group chat this morning (in parallel with our first phone conference), Drummond Reed suggested I blog it. It’s originally from MIT’s Stefan Marti:
- XML customised tags, like:
- <dog>Nena</dog>
- + RDF relations, in triples, like:
- (Nena) (is_dog_of) (Kimiko/Stefan)
- + Ontologies / hierarchies of concepts, like:
- mammal -> canine -> Cotton de Tulear -> Nena
- + Inference rules like:
- If (person) (owns) (dog), then (person) (cares_for) (dog)
- = Semantic Web!

I need this book!
Hello John, I think you might have got the picture in your post from Semantic Web for Dummies which is available under a creative commons but requires Attribution…Thanks.
Thanks Duncan, great image, link added.
Thanks John, so *who* is going to write the “semantic web for dummies” book and when will it finally be published 🙂
The book is shipping!
