"Principal", "Regrets for F2F" My research interests are in Description Logics, Knowledge Representation, Foundations of Databases, Ontologies and Conceptual Modelling, Temporal Logics and Temporal Databases, Multi-dimensional Data Models, Information Access and Integration, Peer-to-Peer Database Systems, Computational Logics, Natural Language Semantics. Currently, my main research focus is on the application of KR technologies to databases, from both the foundational and the application point of view. You can learn more about myself by browsing my home page at <http://www.inf.unibz.it/~franconi/>. My interest on ontologies and rules dates back to a period when the semantic web was still a non existing buzzword :-) I've been recently active in the DAWG for the formalisation of the semantics of SPARQL. My main goal in this WG is to offer my experience in the formalisation of the semantics of languages, and their computational characterisation. I'd like to see a rule language with well founded semantics, fully interoperating with the W3C semantic web standards (RDF(S) and OWL) and with DB technologies, with effective and scalable computational properties, amenable to optimsations.
