ABSTRACT = {This book contains a collection of seven thoroughly revised 
tutorial papers based on lectures given by leading researchers at the 
5th International Summer School on the Reasoning Web, held in 
Brixen-Bressanone, Italy, from August 30 to September 4, 2009. The 
objective of the book is to provide a coherent introduction to semantic 
web methods and research issues with a particular emphasis on reasoning.
The focus of this year’s event was on the use of semantic technologies 
to enhance data access on the web. Topics covered include design and 
analysis of reasoning procedures for description logics; answer set 
programming basics, its modeling methodology and its principal extensions 
tailored for semantic web applications; languages for constraining and 
querying XML data; RDF database theory and efficient and scalable support 
for RDF/OWL data storage, loading, inferencing and querying; tractable 
description logics and their use for ontology-based data access; and the 
social semantic desktop, which defines a user’s personal information 
environment as a source and end-point of the semantic web.
