Title RDFS Update: From Theory to Practice
Authors Claudio Gutierrez, Alejandro Vaisman, Carlos Hurtado
Publication date 2011
Abstract There is a comprehensive body of theory studying updates
and
schema evolution of knowledge bases, ontologies, and in particular of RDFS.
In this paper we turn these ideas into practice by presenting a feasible and
practical procedure for updating RDFS. Along the lines of ontology
evolution, we treat schema and instance updates separately, showing that
RDFS instance updates are not only feasible, but also deterministic. For
RDFS schema update, known to be intractable in the general abstract case, we
show that it becomes feasible in real world datasets. We present for both,
instance and schema update, simple and feasible algorithms.
