Abstract:
Ontologies and related Semantic Web technologies are applied in many areas where
mathematical relationships are essential to the domain knowledge.
However, unlike ontologies and logical rule languages, mathematical expressions
and calculation rules are not an intrinsic part of the linked data
representation. Therefore, additional mapping processes between semantic domain
models and the programs executing the mathematical computations are usually
required.
The Numerate Web is an approach to representing mathematical models with RDF,
linking them to RDF resources and properties, running computations, and finally
also making the results available as part of the RDF representation.
