LSRN Resolver RIRO Service

This is LSRN Resolver RDF-in/RDF-out Service home page. This page serves two purposes: it describes the service for programmers and contains an embedded RIRO Service Description to be used by Semantic Web browsers and aggregators. The description contains RDFGoo keywords allowing for automatic discovery of the service.

The resolver accepts an RDF graph containing a blank node with two properties - an rdf:type, which should be lsrn:Name, and a rdf:value, which should be a literal. If the literal is a valid RSRN, the resolver returns additional properties of the input blank node, together with the corresponding record node and related URLs (see picture below for details).

As required by RIRO specification, the resolver's service formal description can be retrieved from the service itself by sending it an empty RDF graph.
