Semantic Web - State of the Art

Semantic Web - State of the Art

报告简介：

The Semantic Web is gaining momentum. Driven by over 10 years of focused project funding in the US and the EU, Semantic Web Technologies are now entering application areas in industry, academia, government, and the open Web. Central to this transfer into practice is the Linked Open Data effort, which has already resulted in the publication, on the Web, of billions of pieces of information in Semantic Web compatible data formats such as RDF and OWL. This provides the basic data needed for establishing intelligent system applications on the Web in the tradition of Semantic Web Technologies. In this talk, we discuss the current state of the art, with an emphasis on Linked Open Data and required next steps towards the bigger Semantic Web vision.

In 2001 he obtained a PhD in Mathematics from the National University of Ireland, University College Cork, and in 1998 a Diplom (Master equivalent) in Mathematics from the University of Tübingen in Germany. His research record lists over 140 publications in such diverse areas as semantic web, neural-symbolic integration, knowledge representation and reasoning, denotational semantics, and set-theoretic topology. He is Editor-in-chief of the IOS Press journal "Semantic Web - Interoperability, Usability, Applicability" and the IOS Press book series "Studies on the Semantic Web". He is vice-chair of the steering committee of the conference series on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR), and the RR2010 PC co-chair. He is co-chair of the 2010 International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) "Semantic Web In Use" and "Industry" tracks, co-chair of the 2011 Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) "Reasoning" track, and senior PC member of the 2011 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-11).
