2001 Aug 6: RDF query BOF at the First International Semantic Web Working Symposium

2003 Feb 5: RDF query BOF at the W3C Technical Plenary 2003
-
Report on RDF-Query and RuleML BOF... We had the longest running BOF. We talked a lot about abstractions, etc, etc,. We started coming up with a model. The problem is that there are RDF recommendations, but now how do you use it? Lots of query languages and protocols. Where is the commonality.
from Town Hall minutes
2003 May 23: RDF query BOF at WWW 2003 - this BOF addressed using XQuery for RDF Query. It overflowed into a second day.
2003 Dec 10: RDF/XQuery BOF at XML 2003

Terms:
Following is a set of definitions intended to help clarify terms used on this list. They are subject to debate - feel free to post additions/corrections.
assertion
Insertion of statements into an RDF graph.
graph
A set of RDF statements. A graph may come from a set of documents and rules, a triple store, a topic map, an interface to a relational database, or any other source of RDF statements.
query
A test of an RDF graph for one or more matching subgraphs. A query may test for the existance of a solution or may return a result set.
RDF
The representation of data as triples of predicate, subject, object - sometimes called the RDF model. This does not specify any serialization format, for instance, XML, cwm, S-Expresions.
RDF/XML
A encoding of RDF in XML via the rules defined in the RDF Model and Syntax.
result set
The results of a query. Result sets frequently tie instance data from the graph with variables used in the query.
rule
Expression of query and assertion that causes the automatic insertion of asserted statements wherever the query is matched.
variable
A placeholder for an unknown value in a query or assertion. Variables are used to match statements with any value in that place and to constrain the values in one place in one statement to be equal to a value in another statement.
