View Group ContentGroup: CWA working group 2.6: Nanopublications
The Concept Web Alliance is an organization founded to promote the semantically rich publication and dissemination of life science data and knowledge.
The basic underlying units of this knowledge will be 'triples' - concept-relationship-concept - represented using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) specification of the W3C. Technologies that are built around RDF such as RDF Triplestores, URIs, Query Languages and OWL will have immediate importance to this and other CWA Working Groups including 2.3 (Storage and Maintenance), 2.4 (Unique and Persistent ID) and 2.9 (Triple Browser and Reasoning). Whilst RDF Triples will form the core of CWA recommendations, data and knowledge have structural complexities that cannot be represented with triples alone.
This CWA Working Group is responsible for recommending the higher order structures amongst triples and the vocabularies for describing these structures. The resulting triple model will allow features such as domain context for a triple (e.g. gene expression under certain conditions), metadata for triples (e.g. authorship).

Andrew Gibson commented:Dear Peter-Jan, Thanks for your comments / questions, I will try and summarize a response here to the points listed on your website. In trying to be brief, my answers may not be thorough. 1) Triples do not have identifiers. Technically this is true, in so far that there is no explicit reccomendation …Tuesday 10 November 2009 15:49:23 (UTC)

Peter-Jan Roes commented:Dear group members, Is the RDF triple model the only triple model under consideration or is it possible that this group will decide on a different model? It seems to me that RDF has its limitations. As the developer of WikiData I have tried to find out whether its triple model is compatible with RDF …Tuesday 27 October 2009 09:53:44 (UTC) -
