Using this simple model, itallows structured and semi-structured data to be mixed,exposed, and shared across different applications.Turtle: Terse RDF Triple Languagehttp://www.w3.org/TeamSubmission/turtle/a textual syntax for RDF that allows RDF graphs to becompletely written in a compact and natural text form, withabbreviations for common usage patterns and datatypes. 6. { Modeling IRT 264 in RDF using Turtle (saying *what* it is)http://irt.kcl.ac.uk/irt2009/IRT264.html ahttp://purl.org/ontology/bibo/Webpage .

TheBody must be somehow "about" the Target for it to be considered the bodyof an Annotation.Both the Body and the Target of the Annotation can be any resource on theweb, identified by a URI. As such, they can have representations in anyformat or language (or no language), or have no representations at all, suchas for abstract resources that denote a concept. 22. { Modeling IRT 264 in RDF using Turtle (Pelagios geography using OACannotations)@prefix dcterms: .@prefix dc: .@prefix oac: .@prefix ass: .ass:a1 oac:Annotation;dc:title IRT 264 mentions Nicomedia ;dcterms:creator ;oac:hasBody ;oac:hasTarget . 23. { Modeling IRT 264 in RDF using Turtle (Pelagios geography using OACannotations)@prefix dcterms: .@prefix dc: .@prefix oac: .@prefix ass: .ass:a1 oac:Annotation;dc:title IRT 264 mentions Nicomedia ;dcterms:creator ;oac:hasBody ;oac:hasTarget .ass:a2 oac:Annotation;dc:title IRT 264 was found at Lepcis Magna ;dcterms:creator ;oac:hasBody ;oac:hasTarget . 24. { Thoughts for Discussion (from Leif)1. HTTP URIs are more important than ontologies for connectivity2. A Little Ontology Goes a Long Way3. We should grow the Web of Data, not build it4. The Web is designed for scale. Scale requires Openness.
