myExperiment Ontology

To make some sense of all this RDF data there is a myExperiment ontology. As two of myExperiment's main feature are its metadata registry and social network framework, the ontology borrows liberally from Dublin Core, FOAF and SIOC.


SPARQL Endpoint

All this RDF data along with the myExperiment ontology can also be queried through a SPARQL endpoint that can be found at http://rdf.myexperiment.org/sparql.
