SEB group supports the creation of the RDF-star working group #36

SEB group supports the creation of the RDF-star working group as described in the proposed charter.

RDF-star is a powerful approach to manage contextual statements without creating proper N-ary concepts (and so far, without bringing complexity to the domain model).

Contextual things could be geographical (hemispheres, countries, cities), time-related (a statement could be true during a period), or person-related (like a profile).

This kind of knowledge engineering could be implemented with the current standard but, as mentioned earlier, it is too much complicated to explain the domain model to the developers or stakeholders. Other technologies which allow this kind of implementation (e.g., property graphs) are not standard and would limit interoperability with other ontologies and knowledge graphs.
