Hi, I am a Lecturer in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Aberdeen. I am interested in Description Logic and ontology reasoning, in particular standard reasoning tasks and query answering for ontology language extensions (such as datatype, fuzzy, metamodeling and rule), as well as non-standard reasoning tasks related to ontology reuse and usability. I developed a datatype group extension of the FaCT reasoner called FaCT-DG, and co-developed an OWL DL query engine (based on semantics approximation to DL-Lite) called ONTOSEARCH2 [1]. I helped review the abstract syntax and semantics for OWL, and co-authored the proposals of the following ontology languages OWL-Eu, OWL-E, fuzzy SWRL, RDFS-FA and OWL-FA. The OWL-Eu proposal is included in the W3C note "XML Schema Datatypes in RDF and OWL" <http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-xsch-datatypes/> [2]. I help co-coordinate the OWLED task force on uncertainty [3]. I am a member of the W3C RIF Working Group, a co-chair of Fuzzy RuleML Technical Group <http://image.ntua.gr/FuzzyRuleML/> and a member of the RuleML <http://www.ruleml.org/> steering committee. I co-chaired of W3C Multimedia Semantics Incubator Group <http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/>, and served as a co-coordinator of both the Software Engineering Task Force <http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/SE/> and the Multimedia Annotation on the Semantic Web Task Force <http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/MM/> in the W3C Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group <http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/#Membership>. My homepage is http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/~jpan/, where you can find my contact information. I hope that this working group will recommend a well-understood, easy to use and useful Ontology Language. I think I can contribute to the datatype and meta-modeling aspects of the full language, as well as association between the full language and its tractable fragments. I would love to but am not yet sure if I could attend the first F2F.
