The current explosion in the volume and complexity of data produced and consumed by individuals or organization is unparalleled. The development of the Internet, of data and knowledge interchange standards such as XML, RDF, Web Services, OWL, and the recent democratization of access to large-scale distributed computer clouds opens unprecedented opportunities for large-scale data management and reasoning. Our research work aims at exploiting these infrastructures to devise and deploy innovative, efficient, distributed data- and knowledge-rich platforms.

More specifically, our research aims at:
