  • Chapter
Reasoning Web

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 3564))

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to give a general introduction to some of the ontology languages that play a prominent role on the Semantic Web, and to discuss the formal foundations of these languages. Web ontology languages will be the main carriers of the information that we will want to share and integrate.
