Uli Sattler is a professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. She studied for her undergraduate degree in Erlangen, earned her PhD from RWTH Aachen and her habilitation from TU Dresden (all in Germany), before joining Manchester in 2003. Her PhD was on expressive description logics and associated automated reasoning problems and algorithms. In collaboration with colleagues, she developed the logical underpinning of the ontology languages OWL and OWL 2, and has since worked on a range of related ontology engineering tasks like modularisation and entailment explanation.

In this talk, I will talk about such representations and what it means for a such a representation to faithfully represent the relationships between concepts, individuals, and relations from an ontology. In particular, I will explain how repr...
