Description
This set of slides is designed to serve as an educational tutorial on how the ValueListURN allows users to interact with their externally-managed policies to route emergency information using the Distribution Element (DE). The ValueListURN provides a simple structure to specify the name of the policy and to specify a set of terms from that policy. The tutorial illustrates what the policy statements look like when expressed as "triples", the recommended format utilized by the W3C standards, Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). The tutorial concludes by illustrating how useful routing information can be extracted from the policy statement using the standard query language, SPARQL.
