Abstract

Semantic link network (SLN) is a loosely coupled semantic data model for managing Web resources. Its nodes can be any types of resources. Its edges can be any semantic relations. Potential semantic links can be derived out according to reasoning rules on semantic relations. This paper proposes the schema theory for SLN including the concepts, rule-constraint normal forms and relevant algorithms. The theory provides the basis for normalized management of SLN and its applications. A case study demonstrates the proposed theory.
