Knowledge Representation on the Web Revisited : The Case for Prototypes
Abstract
Recently, RDF and OWL have become the most common
knowledge representation languages in use on the Web, propelled by the
recommendation of the W3C. In this paper we examine an alternative
way to represent knowledge based on Prototypes. This Prototype-based
representation has different properties, which we argue to be more suitable
for data sharing and reuse on the Web. Prototypes avoid the distinction
between classes and instances and provide a means for object-based data
sharing and reuse.
In this paper we discuss the requirements and design principles for
Knowledge Representation based on Prototypes on the Web, after which
we propose a formal syntax and semantics. We further show how to embed
knowledge representation based on Prototypes in the current Semantic
Web stack and report on an implementation and practical evaluation of
the system.
