The Semantic Web uses the Resource Description Framework (RDF). The eagle-i repository uses the Resource description framework (RDF) to extend the linking structure of the Web to use URIs to name the relationship between resources.  Each item in RDF is identified by a standardized Web address called a Universal Resource Identifier (URI). Using URIs ensures that items are not just words in a document — each one is tied to a definition retrievable on the Web at that unique address.

Current Deployment

The current network comprises eagle-i nodes deployed at twenty five institutions across the United States and indexed by the eagle-i central search. Over 26,000 searches have been conducted at www.eagle-i.net in the last several months. Join our mailing lists to stay up to date and involved with the project.
