* GFD-R-P.200 "Web Services Data Access and Integration – The RDF(S) Realization (WS-DAIRDFS) RDF(S) Querying Specification, Version 1.0,"   I. Kojima, S. M. Pahlevi, S. Lynden, via DAIS-WG.

Abstract:
  Data resources play a significant role in many applications across multiple domains. Web services provide implementation neutral facilities for describing, invoking and orchestrating collections of networked resources. The OGF (Open Grid Forum) Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA), and its associated specifications, define consistent interfaces through web services to components of the grid infrastructure. Both the web and grid communities stand to benefit from the provision of consistent and agreed web service interfaces for data resources and the systems that manage them.

  This document presents a specification for a collection of querying interfaces for RDF(S) data resources, which extends interfaces defined in the Web Services Data Access and Integration document [WS-DAI]. It also presents interfaces for handling RDF graphs in RDF(S) data resources. This specification can be applied in regular web services environments or as part of a grid fabric.
