+
+<p>The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a general-purpose language for
+representing information in the Web.</p>
+
+<p>This specification introduces RDF's vocabulary description language, RDF
+Schema. It is complemented by several companion documents which
+describe the basic concepts and abstract stntax of RDF
+[<cite><a href="#bib-RDF11-CONCEPTS" class="bibref">RDF11-CONCEPTS</a></cite>], the formal semantics of RDF [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF11-MT" class="bibref">RDF11-MT</a></cite>], and
+various concrete syntaxes for RDF, such as Turtle [<cite><a href="#bib-TURTLE" class="bibref">TURTLE</a></cite>],
+TriG, [<cite><a href="#bib-TRIG" class="bibref">TRIG</a></cite>], and JSON-LD [<cite><a href="#bib-JSON-LD" class="bibref">JSON-LD</a></cite>].
+The RDF Primer [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF11-PRIMER" class="bibref">RDF11-PRIMER</a></cite>] provides an informal introduction and
+examples of the use of the concepts specified in this document.</p>
+
+<p>This document is intended to provide a clear specification of the RDF
+vocabulary description language to those who find the formal semantics
+specification [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF11-MT" class="bibref">RDF11-MT</a></cite>]
+daunting. Thus, this document duplicates material also specified in the RDF
+Semantics specification . Where there is disagreement between this document
+and the RDF Semantics specification, the RDF Semantics specification should
+be taken to be correct.</p>
+
+<p>RDF properties may be thought of as attributes of resources and in
+this sense correspond to traditional attribute-value pairs. RDF
+properties also represent relationships between resources.</p>
+
+<p>RDF however, provides no mechanisms for describing these properties, nor
+does it provide any mechanisms for describing the relationships between these
+properties and other resources. That is the role of the RDF vocabulary
+description language, RDF Schema. RDF Schema defines classes and properties
+that may be used to describe classes, properties and other resources.</p>
+
+<p>This document does not specify a vocabulary of descriptive properties such
+as "author". Instead it specifies mechanisms that may be used to name and
+describe properties and the classes of resource they describe.</p>
+
+<p>
+RDF's vocabulary description language, RDF Schema, is a
+<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-mt/#semantic-extensions-and-entailment-regimes">semantic
+extension</a> of RDF. It provides
+mechanisms for describing groups of related resources and the
+relationships between these resources. RDF Schema vocabulary
+descriptions are written in RDF using the terms described in this document.
+These resources are used to determine characteristics of other resources,
+such as the <a href="#ch_domain">domains</a> and
+<a href="#ch_range">ranges</a> of properties.
+</p>
+
+<p>The RDF vocabulary description language class and property system is similar to the type systems of object-oriented programming languages such as Java. RDF differs from many such systems in that instead of defining a class in terms of the properties its instances may have, the RDF vocabulary description language describes properties in terms of the classes of resource to which they apply. This is the role of the <a href="#ch_domain">domain</a> and <a href="#ch_range">range</a> mechanisms described in this specification. For example, we could define the <code>eg:author</code>
+property to have a domain of <code>eg:Document</code> and a range of
+<code>eg:Person</code>, whereas a classical object oriented system might
+typically define a class <code>eg:Book</code> with an attribute called
+<code>eg:author</code> of type <code>eg:Person</code>. Using the RDF approach, it is easy for others to subsequently define additional properties with a domain of eg:<code>Document</code> or a range of <code>eg:Person</code>.
+This can be done without the need to re-define the original description of
+these classes. One benefit of the RDF property-centric approach is that it
+allows anyone to extend the description of existing resources, one of the
+architectural principles of the Web [<cite><a href="#bib-BERNERS-LEE98" class="bibref">BERNERS-LEE98</a></cite>].</p>
+
+<p>This specification does not attempt to enumerate all the possible forms of
+vocabulary description that are useful for representing the meaning of RDF
+classes and properties. Instead, the RDF vocabulary description strategy is
+to acknowledge that there are many techniques through which the meaning of
+classes and properties can be described. Richer vocabulary or 'ontology'
+languages such as OWL [<cite><a href="#bib-OWL2-OVERVIEW" class="bibref">OWL2-OVERVIEW</a></cite>], inference rule
+languages and other formalisms (for example temporal logics) will each
+contribute to our ability to capture meaningful generalizations about data in
+the Web. RDF vocabulary designers can create and deploy Semantic Web
+applications using the RDF vocabulary description language facilities,
+while exploring richer vocabulary description languages that share this
+general approach.</p>
+
+<p>The language defined in this specification consists of a collection
+of RDF resources that can be used to describe properties of other RDF
+resources (including properties) in application-specific RDF
+vocabularies. The core vocabulary is defined in a namespace informally
+called 'rdfs' here. That namespace is identified by the IRI</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<code>http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#</code>
+</blockquote>
+
+and is conventiuonally associated with the prefix
+'rdfs'. This specification also uses the prefix 'rdf' to refer to the
+RDF namespace<p></p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<code>http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#</code>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>For convenience and readability, this specification uses an abbreviated
+form to represent IRIs. A name of the form prefix:suffix should be
+interpreted as a IRI consisting of the IRI associated
+with the prefix concatenated with the suffix.</p>

+<p>Resources may be divided into groups called classes. The members of a
+class are known as <em>instances</em> of the class. Classes are themselves
+resources. They are often identified by <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-IRIs">RDF
+IRIs</a> and may be described using RDF properties. The <code><a href="#ch_type">rdf:type</a></code> property may be used to state that a
+resource is an instance of a class.</p>
+
+<p>RDF distinguishes between a class and the set of its instances. Associated
+with each class is a set, called the class extension of the class, which is
+the set of the instances of the class. Two classes may have the same set of
+instances but be different classes. For example, the tax office may define
+the class of people living at the same address as the editor of this
+document. The Post Office may define the class of people whose address has
+the same zip code as the address of the author. It is possible for these
+classes to have exactly the same instances, yet to have different properties.
+Only one of the classes has the property that it was defined by the tax
+office, and only the other has the property that it was defined by the Post
+Office.</p>
+
+<p>A class may be a member of its own class extension and may be an instance of itself. </p>
+
+<p>The group of resources that are RDF Schema
+classes is itself a class called <a href="#ch_class"><code>rdfs:Class</code></a>.</p>
+
+<p id="def-subclass">
+If a class C is a <em>subclass</em> of a class C', then all instances of C will
+also be instances of C'.
+The <a href="#ch_subclassof"><code>rdfs:subClassOf</code></a> property
+may be used to state that one class is a subclass of another. The term
+super-class is used as the inverse of subclass. If a class C' is a
+super-class of a class C, then all instances of C are also instances of C'.

+
+<p>This specification introduces an RDF vocabulary for describing the
+meaningful use of properties and classes in RDF data. For example, an RDF
+vocabulary might describe limitations on the types of values that are
+appropriate for some property, or on the classes to which it makes sense to
+ascribe such properties.</p>
+
+<p>The RDF Vocabulary Description language provides a mechanism for describing this information, but does not say whether or how an application should use it. For example, while an RDF vocabulary can assert that an <code>author</code> property is used to
+indicate resources that are instances of the class <code>Person</code>, it
+does not say whether or how an application should act in processing that
+range information. Different applications will use this information in
+different ways. For example, data checking tools might use this to help
+discover errors in some data set, an interactive editor might suggest
+appropriate values, and a reasoning application might use it to infer
+additional information from instance data.</p>
+
+<p>RDF vocabularies can describe relationships between vocabulary items from
+multiple independently developed vocabularies. Since IRIs are used
+to identify classes and properties in the Web, it is possible to create new

+to RDF containers with examples may be found in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-primer-20040210/#containers">RDF
+2004 Primer</a>. The same resource may appear in a container more than

+contained in itself.</p>
+
+<p>Three different kinds of container are defined. Whilst the formal
+semantics [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF11-MT" class="bibref">RDF11-MT</a></cite>] of all three classes of container are identical,
+different classes may be used to indicate informally further
+information. An rdf:Bag is used to indicate that the container is
+intended to be unordered. An rdf:Seq is used to indicate that the
+order indicated by the numerical order of the <a href="#ch_containermembershipproperty">container member ship properties</a>
+of the container is intended to be significant. An rdf:Alt container is used
+to indicate that typical processing of the container will be to select one of
+the members.</p>
+
+<p>Just as a hen house may have the property that it is made of wood, that
+does not mean that all the hens it contains are made of wood, a property of a

+<p>RDF containers are open in the sense that the core RDF specifications
+define no mechanism to state that there are no more members. The RDF
+Collection vocabulary of classes and properties can describe a closed
+collection, i.e. one that can have no more members. The reader is referred to
+the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-primer-20040210/#collections">collections</a>
+section of the RDF 2004 primer for an informal introduction to collections with
+examples.</p>
+
+<p>A collection is represented as a list of items, a representation that
+will be familiar to those with experience of Lisp and similar
+programming languages. There is a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-syntax-grammar-20040210/#section-Syntax-parsetype-Collection">shorthand notation</a> in the RDF/XML syntax specification for representing collections.</p>

+<li>Amended rdfs:range specification for rdf:predicate for consistency with the Semantics document (previously rdf:Property; now, rdfs:Resource)</li>
+<li>Removed reference to RDF mimetypes doc, as the IETF draft has expired and is 404 missing on their site.</li>
+<li>Reification vocabulary redescribed (<a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Aug/0161.html">details</a>).</li>
+<li>Reworded rdfs:comment for rdfs:member, changing "container" to "resource"</li>
