Three Dimensions of Knowledge Representation in WonderWeb.

WonderWeb has been conceived for developing foundations of and infrastructure for the Semantic Web. In this article we discuss WonderWeb results to which the University of Karlsruhe has contributed. Our work considered three different dimensions of knowledge representation in the Semantic Web: first, we have contributed to the W3C recommendation process for OWL, a description logics-based language, and we have investigated its relationship to logic programming; second, the definition of reusable ontologies for common purposes like Web service descriptions in OWL; and, third, the use of such ontologies and reasoning mechanisms to support core Semantic Web infrastructure tasks. Eating our own dog food in the latter case, we have applied Semantic Web techniques inside a general and extensible middleware
