How does EAV compare to RDF?

Is RDF a superset of the Entity Attribute Value model?

I'm looking into EAV Frameworks and it seems that many RDF Frameworks could be used to provide EAV Frameworks.

E.g. With an RDF store and something like LinqToRDF would I have myself a ready-to-go .NET EAV Framework?

Solution

  • I would rather put it the other way round: you can use an EAV store to store RDF models.
