mentioned in the previous section, as well as support for the features in various
RDFS/OWL profiles. Those titled
EL
,
QL
and
RL
refer intuitively to the standard
OWL 2 profiles [25]. The RDFS standard is titled
RDFS
. All other profiles are
non-standard proposals made in the literature. The profile titled
RDFS+
refers
to RDFS-Plus as proposed by Allemang and Hendler [1], which extends RDFS
with lightweight OWL features. The profile titled
L2
refers to a similar proposal
by Fisher et al. [20] to extend RDFS with some lightweight OWL features.
Description Logic Programs (DLP) was proposed by Grosof et al. [26] in order
to support incomplete OWL reasoning using rules; this proposal was later built
upon in Horst's pD* profile [65]. The
AL
profile refers to features that can be
supported with rules that do not requires A-Box (i.e., assertional joins), which
are expensive to compute at scale; the
AL
profile is used later in Section 5.
In column '
', we indicate which features have expressions that can be rep-
resented as a
single triple
in RDF, i.e., which features do not require auxiliary
blank nodes of the form
:x
or the SEQ production in Table 1 of the OWL 2
Mapping to RDF document [56]. This distinction is motivated by our initial
observations that such features are typically the most widely used in Web data.
From the list of language features, we exclude
rdf:type
, which trivially ap-
peared in 90.3% of documents. We present the table ordered by the sum of
PageRank measure [
Rank
ST
].
Regarding
prevalence
, we see from Table 5 that
owl:sameAs
is the most widely
used axiom in terms of documents (1.778 million; 24%) and domains (117;
14.8%). Surprisingly (to us), RDF container membership properties (
rdf: *
)
are also heavily used (likely attributable to RSS 1.0 documents). Regarding
prominence
, we make the following observations:
1. The top six features are those that form the core of RDFS [53].
2. The RDF(S) declaration classes
rdfs:Class
,
rdf:Property
are used in
fewer, but more prominent documents than OWL's versions
owl:Class
,
owl:DatatypeProperty
,
owl:ObjectProperty
.
