Abstract
A system and method generate an ontology of linked resources. The method includes providing a policy comprising at least one logical rule which is to hold across an ontology of linked resources and initializing a set of resources with an initial subset of the set of resources, each resource in the initial subset being identified by a respective link. Each of the resources in the subset is processed, which includes populating the ontology with a corresponding member of a resource class, for a resource that is valid against a schema, asserting the member's class as a class specific to the schema of the validated resource in the ontology and providing a dependency specification for extracting links within the resource, each extracted link identifying one of the set of resources. A link property is asserted in the ontology for a link between the resource of the subset containing an extracted link and the resource identified by the extracted link and the ontology populated with a member of the resource class for each newly identified resource. A verification that the at least one logical rule holds across the set of resources in the ontology is performed.
