Summary

The constructs in RDFS-Plus are a subset of the constructs in OWL. This subset provides considerable flexibility for modeling in the Semantic Web. In the next chapter, we will see some examples of how RDFS-Plus is used in some large-scale Semantic Web projects. A summary of the constructs in this set follow.
