Introduction

The Simple Data Interchange Format (SiDIF) is yet another format for exchanging data between computers.

SiDIF isA DataInterchangeFormat

is a valid SiDIF content.

Examples

City Tokyo

City isA Concept
Tokyo isA City
webpage addsTo City
"http://www.tokyo.jp" is webpage of Tokyo

is valid SiDIF.

SiDIF is based on Triples

Each Sidif statement has a three part structure:

  1. subject
  2. predicate
  3. object

that is called a Triple

Royal family

The Royal92 SiDIF was created via a GEDCOM import. Together with the Model SiDIF and the MetaModel SiDIF it is the basis for the content of the Royal Family wiki A good entry point to browse the structure of that Wiki is the Topic table E.g. you could follow the following links:

  1. Person Concept derived from the Person Topic
  2. Help for the Person Topic

SiDIF Structure

SiDIF expressions

A SiDIF expression like

Tokyo isA City

consists of three parts:

  • Tokyo is the subject
  • isA is the predicate
  • City is the object

Such a set of subject / predicate / object is called a Triple

SiDIF Implementation

Comparison to other formats

Most other Triple formats are fare more complex.

e.g. explains the Cyc Statement:

 (#$capitalCity #$France #$Paris)

with "Paris is the capital of France." which in SiDIF would be:

Paris is capital of France
