He has been involved in the\nSemantic Web research programme since it\u2019s inception in the late \u201990s.\nHe is one of the co-designers of the W3C ontology representation\nlanguage OWL, and was involved in the design of Sesame, one of the most\nwidely used RDF repositories world wide. He is co-author of the Semantic\nWeb Primer, the first textbook on Semantic Web technologies, now\ntranslated into 5 languages. He was scientific director of the Large\nKnowledge Collider (LarKC), which aimed to build a platform for very\nlarge scale distributed reasoning. Besides research into the fundamental\nquestions such as inconsistency, scalability, heterogeneity, and\ndynamicity, he is also involved in a wide variety of applications of\nsemantic technologies, among others in medicine, the pharmaceutical\nindustry, scientific publishing and e-science. His work on the Sesame\ntriplestore received the 2012 \u201cISWC 10 year impact award\u201d. He was\nelected as member of the European Academy of Science in 2014 and of the\nDutch Royal Academy of Sciences in 2017.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

style=\"text-align: justify;\">Luc Steels studied linguistics at the University of Antwerp (Belgium) and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA). His main research field is Artificial Intelligence covering a wide range of intelligent abilities, including vision, robotic behavior, conceptual representations and language. In 1983 he became a professor of computer science at the University of Brussels (VUB). He has been co-founder and chairman (from 1990 until 1995) of the VUB Computer Science Department (Faculty of Sciences).\n\nHe founded the Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris in 1996 and became its first director. Currently he is ICREA research professor at the Institute for Evolutionary Biology(CSIC,UPF). Steels has participated in dozens of large-scale European projects and more than 30 PhD theses have been granted under his direction. He has produced over 200 articles and edited 15 books directly related to his research. During the past decade he has focused on theories for the origins and evolution of language using computer simulations and robotic experiments to discover and test them.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aabe6a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"aabe6a7\"
