Abstract
In this sketchy paper we introduce a logical reconstruction of the RDF family of languages and the OWL-DL family of languages. We prove that our logical framework is equivalent to the standard W3C definitions of RDF and OWL-DL/Lite. The main aim is to have a unified model theoretic semantics for both worlds. As a consequence we get various complexity results and a model theoretic semantics for basic SPARQL.
