7.5. Additional Information on RDF

This chapter only gave some of the basic information about RDF. Good books have been published in recent years. Practical views of the semantic web technologies are shown in [24] and programming aspects are dealt by [58]. More formal aspects are described clearly in [24].

There are many information sources about RDF on the web, some of them being:

http://www.w3.org/RDF/
The primary official source with plenty of links about tools and example applications.
http://www.rdfabout.com
Excellent introductory material about RDF and some data sources.
http://jena.sourceforge.net/
A Semantic Web Framework for Java
http://librdf.org/
C libraries that provide support for RDF with language Bindings in Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby
http://dbpedia.org/
The DBpedia project extracts various kinds of structured information from Wikipedia and combines this information into an RDF knowledge base.
