Title: Reasoning on Data with Existential Rules
Speaker: Marie-Laure Mugnier
Abstract
Existential rules are a knowledge representation language
dedicated to reasoning on data. This syntactically simple yet powerful
language overcomes limitations of both Datalog, the language of
deductive databases, and prominent ontological languages like
desription logics. After introducing existential rules and their
salient properties, we will present the main paradigms to query
knowledge graphs in this framework, whether these graphs are
materialized or virtually defined from multiple data sources.
