Chapter 10. Querying RDF: RDF as Data
RDF as a model for metadata and RDF/XML as a way of serializing the
model are interesting, but the power of the specifications lies in
our ability to access the data easily, using techniques
we're familiar with from other data models, such as
the relational data model discussed in Chapter 6.
It is only natural that techniques used for one data model should be
adapted for use with another; so the method for accessing the
relational data model, Structured Query Language (SQL), is used in a
similar manner with RDF/XML through language techniques such as
SquishQL, RDQL, RQL, and others.
