Specification

Abstract: The Semantic Web is a highly-distributed semantic network  
data structure overlaid across triple-stores (i.e. graph databases)  
and web-servers worldwide. The 'atom' of the Semantic Web is the  
Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). A URI uniquely identifies a  
resource. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a data model  
for representing the relationship between resources identified by  
URIs. These relationships are triples composed of a subject URI, a  
predicate URI, and an object URI. The union of all URI triples forms  
the URI-based semantic network data structure known as the Semantic Web.

The current state of the Semantic Web is that of an environment for  
describing/modeling systems. However, the RDF data model is so  
general that it can be used to represent the more procedural aspects  
of a system (e.g. the rules by which the system evolves as well as  
the machines that execute those rules). This lecture will present the  
Neno semantic network programming language and the Fhat RDF virtual  
machine (RVM) specification. In the Neno/Fhat computing environment,  
human-readable Neno source code is compiled to Fhat RDF triple-code.  
Fhat triple-code is executed by a Fhat RVM. A Fhat RVM is a virtual  
machine represented in RDF. With Neno/Fhat, the Semantic Web becomes  
a distributed computing environment, where RVMs and triple-code can  
move between triple-stores to compute algorithms on the various sub-
networks of the larger Semantic Web.
