WSG AND INDUSTRY EVENTS
----------------------------------
A Description Logic Voyage: From Inexpressive to Expressive Languages and
Back - Franz Baader: Canberra, 14 December 2006
--------------------
Description Logics (DL) are a successful family of logic-based knowledge
representation languages, which can be used to represent the conceptual
knowledge of an application domain in a structured and formally
well-understood way. They are employed in various application domains, such
as natural language processing, configuration, and databases, but their most
notable success so far is the adoption of the DL-based language OWL as
standard ontology language for the semantic web. OWL is based on a very
expressive language with worst-case intractable reasoning problems.
Location:
Computer Science & Information Technology Building (Building 108) North Road
Australian National University Canberra
When: 2.30pm, 14 December 2006
