Abstract

By transforming the Web from a collection of documents to a collection of semantically rich data sources, the Semantic Web promises an unprecedented benefit of a global knowledge infrastructure. My PhD research will try to help make that happen at a global scale by doing the following proposed work: 1. Design and implement a highly scalable Semantic Web knowledge base system by exploiting modern relational database technologies combined with the state-of-the-art description logics reasoners. 2. Build and empirically verify a framework that handles ontology evolution and the reuse of data on top of the perspective theory [1]. This framework should be able to relieve inconsistency and heterogeneity in a global scale Semantic Web. 3. Systematically evaluate the resulting system’s capability and scalability in processing, integrating and querying data under the real world environment.
