REWERSE: REasoning on the WEb with Rules and SEmantics
The objective of REWERSE is to strengthen Europe in the area of
reasoning languages for Web systems and applications, especially
Semantic Web systems and applications aiming at enriching the current
Web with so-called intelligent capabilities for data and service
retrieval, composition, and processing. REWERSE's research activities
will be devoted to:
- "Rule markup languages" aiming at unified markup and tools for reasoning Web languages
- "Policy specification, composition, and conformance" aiming at user-friendly high-level specifications for complex Web systems
- "Composition and typing" aiming at methods and rules for Software interoperability in the Web context
- "Reasoning-aware querying" aiming at a query and transformation language for the Web with reasoning capabilities
- "Evolution and reactivity" aiming at specifying the evolution of Web-based data repositories
- "Web-based decision support for event, temporal, and geographical data" aiming at enhancing event, temporal, and location reasoning on the Web
- "Towards a Bioinformatics Semantic Web" aiming at adding semantics to the Bioinformatics Web
- "Personalized information systems" aiming at user-adapted Web information and teaching systems
In addition, REWERSE will develop university education and training as well as technology transfer and awareness activities so as to spread excellence within its research field in Europe.
REWERSE involves 27 European research and industry organizations and
about 100 computer science researchers and professionals playing key
roles in applied reasoning. REWERSE is co-ordinated by the University
of Munich (research group of the professors Francois Bry and Hans
Jurgen Ohlbach). The EU Commission will support REWERSE with more than
5 Millions Euro over 4 years. REWERSE started on March 1st, 2004.
We aim at bringing to REWERSE our expertise in
