RDA as a FRBR application
RDA has its own local FRBR classesNot yet related to FRBR element setNo OWL constraints declared
RDA properties constrained by RDA/FRBR domain/rangeUnconstrained properties with no domain/range will be
published as super-propertiesDevelopment of AP(s) a goal of the “London” meeting
in 2007But RDA element set not yet “published”And AP RDF representation …

Application profile?
No published RDF representation of DC AP!How does an AP assure better quality than OWL
in an un-bounded universe?Is there any real difference between AP and
OWL?AP encodes “rules” outside of element setOWL encodes within element setSame requirements/rules for processing algorithms?
Isomorphic?
