Hi ho, I'm joining the working group as the Mindswap alternative. Most of you I know and know me. I'm also on the WSDL working group and have done a lot with Web Services and Semantic Web Services. I've also done a fair bit on conjunctive query for expressive description logics, and mixed schema/data (i.e., tbox/abox) queries over OWL DL kbs. In fact, to my knowledge, what we've done in that area is the current state of the known possible. This work is being funneled into possibly commercial products by Fujistu. I'm also interested in update and revision, especially as the KBs get expressive. I would like to see SPARQL used in planning systems over web services. For the short term, I intend to function primarily as a connection to the Web Services world (well, rather as an interpreter thereof), focusing on making SPARQL fit smoothly with both Vanilla and Semantic Web Services current practice and thinking. I'll be in and out of the face to face (I'm already registered as an observer). I have some issues that I'll try to raise sooner rather than later. Cheers, Bijan.
