Introduction from Michael Sintek on 2001-11-08 (www-webont-wg@w3.org from November 2001) (original) (raw)

I am serving as the alternate participant for DFKI GmbH (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, http://www.dfki.de/ ). Here's my bio sketch:

I studied computer science and economics at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, and received the Diplom (master's degree) in 1996. Since then, I am working as a research scientist at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI GmbH) Kaiserslautern. In the research department for Intelligent Engineering Systems I investigated in the VEGA project logic programming and machine learning approaches for the maintenance of knowledge-bases. Currently, I'm project leader of the FRODO project ( http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/frodo/ ) where we develop a framework for building distributed organizational memories. In this framework we make intensive use of (distributed) RDF-based ontologies. (Collaborative) acquisition of these ontologies is based on Protege-2000 which we have extended to support RDF messaging in a Jade-based agent framework. To do inferencing and transformations on these ontologies, I am developing, together with Stefan Decker from the Stanford DB Group, the (Horn-logics-based) RDF query, inference, and transformation language TRIPLE ( http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/frodo/triple/ ).

Nearest airport:

<apt:Airport rdf:about="http://www.megginson.com/exp/id/airports/EDDR"> apt:icaoEDDR apt:nameSaarbruecken / Ensheim, Germany apt:latitude49-13N apt:longitude007-07E apt:elevation320M

In TRIPLE syntax:

rdfs := "http://www.w3.org/...". apt := "http://www.megginson.com/exp/ns/airports#". aptid := "http://www.megginson.com/exp/id/airports/".

aptid:EDDR[ rdfs:type -> apt:Airport; apt:icao -> EDDR; apt:name -> "Saarbruecken / Ensheim, Germany"; apt:latitude -> "49-13N"; apt:longitude -> "007-07E"; apt:elevation -> "320M" ]
