OTelosRDF: A Resource Description Format with Enhanced MetaModeling Functionalities Based on OTelos

In this paper we will describe the formalization of an RDF(S) variant we call O-Telos-RDF, which provides enhanced functionalities for meta-modeling and reified statements. This formalization is based very closely on the formalization of the modeling language O-Telos, which is based on a semantic network model quite similar to RDF(S), and has been used as a (meta) modeling language in various application areas during the last 10 years.
