RDF and contexts -- discussion paper

 Folks,  I've finally managed to scrape together some of my thoughts about RDF and  contexts into a document:     http://public.research.mimesweeper.com/RDF/RDFContexts.html  I have focused entirely on the RDF model, rather than its syntax.  I  believe the proposals made can be handled fully within the current RDF  model, even though I propose an extended model as a basis for discussion  (and, incidentally, for our implementation).  I have tried to work from the basic 'ist' ("is true in") relationship as  developed by John McCarthy and R V Guha, though I may have taken it in  directions they did not intend.  We are planning to experiment with using this approach to assist a number  of purposes: - representing relationships between RDF statements and documents that  contain them - trust modelling - describing nested or composite resources - modelling physical-world object relationships ... and maybe more?  Comments are welcome.  Enjoy!  #g ------------ Graham Klyne ([email protected])
