Changes in Terminology and Subprograms

E Changes in Terminology and Subprograms

This appendix introduces changes to a few RDF terminologies and reference procedure names (in the SEM_APIS package) that apply from Oracle Database Release 23ai onwards.

The following table describes the RDF terms that have changed in this book.

Table E-1 Changes in Terminology

New Term	Old Term
RDF graph	Semantic model
RDF network	Semantic network
Inferred graph	Entailment
RDF graph collection	Virtual model
Subject-Property-Matrix (SPM) tables	Result tables
Single-Valued Property (SVP) table	Star-Pattern table
Multi-Valued Property (MVP) table	Triple-Pattern table
Property Chain (PCN) table	Chain-Pattern table

In alignment with the new terms described in Table E-1, the names of a few existing reference procedures in the SEM_APIS package have changed as described in the following table. Oracle Graph recommends that you use the new subprograms starting from Oracle Database Release 23ai.
