RDFS Inference

Osma Suominen edited this page Apr 27, 2015 · 1 revision

Skosify supports basic RDFS subclass and subproperty inference when given the --infer option. The inference is performed early, just after reading the input file.

This inference allows specializing the SKOS model by adding custom versions of SKOS concepts and properties, which will then be automatically translated to the SKOS constructs by Skosify (without losing the original types and properties). See SKOS Primer, section 4.7 for examples.

The inference implementation is quite naïve and the inference is only performed once. See issue #5 (on Google Code) for plans for performing inference later in the processing.
