Research

My research topics are Semantic Web of Linked Data & Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. I have a special interest in Graph based Knowledge Representation, RDF/S, SPARQL.

1. Corese: a Semantic Web factory.
2. SPARQL Interpreter: KGRAM processes oriented labeled graphs.
3. SPARQL Function: a programming language called LDScript that enables users to define extension functions and custom aggregates directly on top of SPARQL filter language.
4. SPARQL Transformation: a Transformation Language for RDF. It enables users to translate RDF into HTML and to transform RDF abstract syntax trees such as OWL RDF to OWL functional syntax and SPIN to SPARQL as well as RDF to Turtle. It can be used to set up a Linked Data Navigator.
5. SPARQL Rule: an Inference Rule Language for RDF on top on SPARQL construct-where query form. It comes with an OWL RL rule base.
6. SPARQL Federate: a compiler to rewrite SPARQL distributed queries into SPARQL federated queries with service clauses.
7. Communication model for SPARQL client/server.
8. SHACL Interpreter written in LDScript.
9. Demo server
