Ontologies and Rules for the Semantic Web

Speaker: Prof Grigoris Antoniou, University of Crete

When: 01.00PM, Tuesday 19 Aug 2003

Venue: 78-622

Host: Dr Guido Governatori

Abstract:

  In this talk we will give a brief overview of the current design of
  the Semantic Web. Its current state is strongly based on and biased
  towards description logic based ontology languages. However the
  concept of rules is gaining importance. We will discuss which role
  rule technology can be expected to play, either in conjunction with
  description logics or as an aternative.
