The Logic of RDF and SPARQL: a tutorial
Summary: Two provably-correct logical reconstructions of RDF: an FO fragment and a full HiLog encoding, focusing on blank nodes, non‑well‑founded rdf:type, and RDF vocabulary-in-model. Relates these to DB constraints/ontologies, formalizes SPARQL core (bnode answers, complexity). (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
