What

This meeting was aimed at developing ideas for RDF-based technologies to implement LSA/eco-laws framework, based on the model of eco-laws described in a recent technical report TR.WP1.2011.2.pdf. This meeting was preceded by some days of joint work of Elena and Graeme, and was followed by a social dinner.

— Mirko, Elena and Graeme discussions on SPARQL

We initially started a subgroup discussion deepening our understanding of how OWL ontologies, RDF documents, and SPARQL queries could eneter the picture of the LSA/eco-law framework

— Elena and Graeme technical developments

Based on the above-mentioned TR, Elena and Graeme wrote down possible SPARQL queries to model some eco-laws. The main idea was to encode an eco-law into a sequence of queries and a subsequent sequence of updates. Constructs to clone LSAs and handle multi-valued properties may be tricky: they need special queries per se.

— Joint discussions

All participants discussed the outcomes of the whole meeting.

Mirko recapped the main ideas behind the TR, shading light to the proposed eco-laws model
A brief discussion followed with questions and suggesting connections with other frameworks, such as linear logics
Graeme explained the proposed translation into SPARQL
