Xenon: An RDF Stylesheet Ontology

TL;DRAbstract

Bringing information to bear from diverse sources to automate tedious processes for the user is a key tenet of the Semantic Web vision. In previous papers we argued that visualizing semantically-connected corpora is not only a prime example of one of these processes but is also a critical problem that must be solved to gain acceptance from the broader community as to the benefits of RDF. In this paper we elaborate on the specific topic of ontologies for describing how resources should be presented to the user. We propose the creation of an RDF stylesheet language, reusing many of the key ideas of the XSL Transformations language (XSLT), but incorporating the requirement that when multiple ontologies are used in the description of a resource to be presented, multiple stylesheets, potentially from different authors, will need to be composed. This notion of enabling heterogeneous composition motivates the definition of our basic building block concepts of view and lens. In addition to abs
