Abstract. A web of linked RDF data may be enabled by standards
specifying how links should be made in RDF and under what conditions
they should be followed as well as powerful generic RDF browsers that
can traverse an open web of RDF resources. The Tabulator is an RDF
browser, which is designed both for new users to provoke interest in the
Semantic Web and give them a means to access and interact with the
entire web of RDF data, and for developers of RDF content to provide
incentive for them to post their data in RDF, to refine and promote RDF
linking standards, and to let providers see how their data interacts with
the rest of the Semantic Web. A challenge for Semantic Web browsers is
to bring the power of domain-specific applications to a generic program
when new unexpected domains can be encountered in real time. The
Tabulator project is an attempt to…
