Policy Reasoner: An Approach for Security to RDF?

This paper focuses on the security methods for Resource Description Framework (RDF). The open nature of the semantic web hinges on the seamless autonomous interoperable communications among unknown entities and formats. This envisioned semantic web is expected to raise new security concerns. This paper presents the survey of existing work on security methods at the basic level of RDF for semantic web integration. Through this survey we found that most of the security measures are specified using access control policies for triple referencing and inference protection. For the later, there is least research work initiated. Thus, in this paper, we propose a Policy-Reasoner for RDF, a combination of access specification as well, a reasoning engine, which address the security issues at large in RDF triples level.
