Thanks Marco, So I will put Quepy down as a first milestone. That is what I am trying to figure out now. I think I have the rasp of what the project is about. Now I have to think about all the milestones and an overall plan of action to put in my proposal. What about SPARQL ? can it be considered

This is quite a complex problem to tackle, but I would give high priority to that. The TOOSO guys have a formal semantics approach, we can get help from them. Qakis is a different project, you should investigate how to take the best out of several projects, not to implement a part of one project

Thanks for the clarification Dimitris. I will have a draft ready sometime today. All in all I think the basic idea of this project is this: We shall convert the user queries into RDF triples, then we can formulate SPARQL queries from that. Now, seeing as a query can be anything, are we going to us

I am not a field expert but the complexity of the automated sparql queries should not be big. Maybe the queries will become big with many triple patterns but not too complex. Here you can get an overview of some query types you *might* encounter: http://lisfs2008.irisa.fr/ocsigen/squall/examples
