About this title

Synopsis

The promise of the Semantic Web is to move from a Web of data to a Web of meaning and distributed services. This vision of the Web has attracted - searchersfromdi?erent horizonswith the aims of de?ning newarchitecturesand languages necessary to make it possible, and of developing the ?rst applications of these concepts. This book contains the articles selected for publication and presentation at the workshop "Principles and Practice of Semantic Web Reasoning" PPSWR 2005, together with three invited talks. Three major aspects of Semantic Web research are represented in this selection: architecture issues, language issues, and reasoning methods. These advances are investigated in the context of new design principles and challenging applications. ThePPSWR2005workshopwaspartoftheDagstuhlseminarontheSem- tic Web organizedby F. Bry (Univ.

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Principles and Practice of Semantic Web Reasoning, PPSWR 2005, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany in September 2005. The 12 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The major aspects of semantic Web research are addressed in the papers, namely semantic Web architectures, language issues, and formal reasoning methods. The advances are investigated in the context of new design principles and challenging applications.
