ABSTRACT
Little work has been carried out for securing RDF documents. An early effort is the work of Carminati et al., who discussed a security architecture for RDF [CARM04]. Some further security issues for RDF and the inference problem are discussed in Reference [FARK06]. Whereas standards are being developed for secure XML including the work of the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), little work is reported on standards for securing RDF. In this chapter we attempt to provide a fairly broad overview of what needs to be carried out for securing RDF documents. For a detailed discussion of RDF concepts we refer the reader to Reference [ANTO03].
