Related data: as a reference to a non-RDF resource providing reference information

In the RDF file that describes the resource, I would like to include a link to an HTML document that provides reference information. A document is HTML, not RDF. I have a feeling that this should be clear, probably with some kind of format specification (e.g. dcterms: format).

My questions:

  • What is the best way to link resources without RDF (URI) in Linked Data / RDF?
  • What is the best lexical term for using a document / resource containing background information about an item?

A common property for providing additional information is rdfs:seeAlso . As spec says , you can create a seeAlso sub-property to convey more specific semantics. Regarding metadata encoding, I personally stick with Dublin Core , and I would add bNode so that the various properties of the external source can be recorded in a triple store.

So, if some_resource is what you have additional information about:

 example:some_resource rdfs:seeAlso [ dcTerms:source "http://your.si.te/docs/foo.html"^^xsd:anyURI ; dcTerms:format "text/html" ; dcTerms:title "Foo user manual"@en ; dcTerms:language "en" ].
