I’ve watched the TypeDB video on YT: Comparing Semantic Web Technologies to TypeDB.
It’s a great video, and one of the things it showcases is how you can map RDF URIs on data elements by using a uri
attribute that can be owned by anthing.
However, I don’t quite see how to use this in practice. Two things:
- For data this works, but since you cannot make
uri
owned by the root types it becomes cumbersome to maintain. - For types I don’t even see a nice way to make this work, i.e. I don’t how to map a URI on a type, since I can’t state something like
thing has uri
.
I have seen a post here that seems to give a solution: [ Where to store type metadata?](Where to store type metadata? - #2 by alex).
I was hoping, however, that my less general case can be solved simpler.
Thanks!
