An Introduction to the Semantic Web
Abstract
We present the basic principles of the Semantic Web of Linked Data: an extension of the Web that enables users to define a semantic network at the scale of the Web and exchange data and knowledge on the Web. We introduce the core languages designed by the World Wide Web Consortium: RDF, RDFS, SPARQL. We give some examples with the french DBpedia knowledge base, extracted from Wikipedia, that is managed by the Wimmics team. To finish, we present some of our research topics.

Title
Uncertainty
Abstract
The Web is an open world for information, where everyone can say whatever they want. However, when it comes to the Semantic Web, the rules of the game must be changed. The assumption of an open world brings into light new terms such as: vagueness, ambiguity and uncertainty. In this talk, we will discuss uncertainty in the general context of information theory, and to what extent the integration of such a dimension in the Semantic Web have effects on logical reasoning process.
