Abstract
Representing Australian Curriculum for education in a form amenable to the Semantic Web and conforming to the Achievement Standards Network (ASN) schema required a new RDF instance data editor for describing bounded graphs—what the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative calls a ‘description set’. Developed using a ‘describe and relate’ metaphor, the editor reported here eliminates all need for authors of graphs to understand RDF or other Semantic Web formalisms. The Description Set Editor (ASN DSE) is configurable by means of a Description Set Profile (DSP) constraining properties and property values and a set of User Interface Profiles (UIP) that relate the constraints of the DSP to characteristics of the user interface. When fully deployed, the editor architecture will include a Sesame store for RDF persistence and a metadata server for deployment of all RESTful web services. Documents necessary for configuration of the editor including DSP, UIP, XSLT, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files are stored as web resources.
