I have am undoubtedly dumb question about the Semantic Web.

Let’s say I want to express in an RDF triple not simply that A relates to B, but the degree of A’s relationship to B. E.g.:

Bill is 85% committed to Mary The tint of paint called Purple Dawn is 30% red

Frenchie is 75% likely to beat Lefty Niagara Falls is 80% in Canada

Other than making up a set of 100 different relationships (e.g., “is in 1%,” “is in 2%,” etc.), how can that crucial bit of metadata about the relationship be captured in RDF?

Note that I am not asking for practical reasons. I have a theoretical interest in the topic. [Tags: semantic_web rdf dumb_questions]
