Denotational Semantics: A Methodology for Language Development

Denotational Semantics: A Methodology for Language Development. David Schmidt, Kansas State University.

I don't recall seeing this book mentioned on LtU before. The entire book is online and seems quite detailed and understandable. Each chapter ends with exercises for the reader and suggested readings.

Thanks, Henry!

Description Logics in Literate Haskell

Experiments from Graham Klyne:

This file is my attempt to better understand the structure and uses
of Description Logic (DL) languages for knowledge reresentation and inference, with the ultimate aim of better understanding the capabilities and limitations of the Semantic Web ontology language OWL, whose design draws much from Description Logic languages.

SAT 3 Proof with E Prover via OWL

An interesting little Semantic Web-related development reported by Jos De Roo (creator of the Java/C# Euler inference engine). He's got the E Prover (an equational theorem prover for clausal logic), to find a proof for the OWL (Web Ontology Language) test case "inconsistent502" (RDF, variations), which is a Description Logic encoding of one of the classic SAT 3 problems.
