Sharing Distributed Knowledge on the Web (Invited Talk)

To share information, we propose to see the Web as a knowledge base consisting of distributed logical facts and rules. Our objective is to help Web users finding information, as well as controlling their own, using automated reasoning over this knowledge base towards improving the quality of service and of data. For this, we introduce Webdamlog, a Datalog-style language with rule delegation. We mention the implementation of a system to support this language as well as standard communications and security protocols
