[Exist-open] Help with querying rdf/rdfs

[Paolo Di P. <pdi...@di...>]

Hi all,

 

I'm doing some abstract reasoning about using rdf based content with eXist,
and there are some questions I'd like to share.

 

1)      Do you see a sense to load an rdf model containing a formal
description of the exist content?

 

1.1) If yes: is there an (easy) way to embed a tool able to verify the
internal coherence of an existing content against a given metamodel?

1.2) And (more important) do you think could be easy to incorporate a
trigger able to check the consistency before doing some xupdate operations?

 

2)      Intuitively, in term of performance, my opinion is that an rdf based
knowledge base is more (too) resource expensive than its equivalent model
directly designed using xml.

Has anyone experienced in this field?

 

3)      Can someone convince me that using rdf with exist is not a good
idea? Or viceversa?

 

4)      Can you give me some link to these kind of discussions?

 

Thank you to everybody and have an happy new year

 

Paolo
