<div dir="ltr"><div>Neil, my work is ongoing and very immature. I've just dumped a couple of concepts of parts of what could built a Semantic backed BI framework (discovery & mining).<br><br>And yes, i meant *prime* numbers. It's easy to grab them with the Java BigInteger API. And I'll be using them to characterize Resources and their relationships using factoring of their IDs. The static part of the ID is the classID (prime PK) and the dynamic part (instanceID) is augmented by the product of the other Resources in each Statement (Link). The main purpose for this arrangement was initially indexing Resources and retrieve similar Resources (by their factors). But now I wrapped all similarity logic into 'Mappings' which essentially wraps a Resource and extracts all of its metadata.<br><br></div>And Resources have classes fundamentally in two ways: 1) Enumerate the class set by extension (its Subjects) or 2) Characterize a set of Subjects belonging to the same class because of them sharing the same predicates. For example, Subjects sharing 'brand', 'price', 'discount' predicates are into the type/class 'Product'.<br><div><br></div><div>Thanks for taking the time for reading and replying me.

of data provided by many different sources.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Then there should be an API exploiting the concept of 'arithmetic' inference and reasoning using 'meaningful' numeric identifiers. The document describing the ongoing outermost concepts is in a PDF file attached
to this document. If there are problems with the attachment the file is accessible at:<br>
