This book contains the articles selected for publication and presentation at the workshop “Principles and Practice of Semantic Web Reasoning” PPSWR 2005, together with three invited talks. Three major aspects of Semantic Web research are represented in this selection: architecture issues, language issues, and reasoning methods. These advances are investigated in the context o
