Semantic technologies, Linked Open Data, and knowledge representation formalisms such as OWL are beginning to play increasingly important roles across a broad range of applications.Ontology modeling languages, e.g., RDF, OWL, and RIF, enable the inference of implicit knowledge from knowledge that is explicitly encoded in the knowledge base. Web Reasoning and allied fields focus on the design, analysis, and development of ontology languages, study of their theoretical properties, and the design and implementation of effective inference algorithms. There is an urgent need for advanced training graduate students to conduct research in this area and prepare for academic or industrial careers. Participation in premier research conferences in the area is an essential element of such training. The Web Reasoning and Rule Systems conference series, established in 2007, attracts the leading researchers in the field of Web Reasoning, and offers a venue for presentation of the latest advances in the field. The co-location of the conference with the Reasoning Web Summer School makes it also an excellent venue for training graduate students. This project provides travel grants for U.S. based graduate students to attend the 2013 Web Reasoning and Rule Systems Conference scheduled to take place during July 27-29, in Mannheim, Germany. The conference is co-located with the 2013 Reasoning Web Summer School, and also with the 26th International Workshop on Description Logics. In addition to attending the invited and contributed talks at the conference, and the Summer School, the students will benefit from individualized mentoring by established researchers. Broader impacts of the project include the training of a new generation of researchers and technologists in the emerging area of Web Reasoning which is currently seeing substantial industrial interest and uptake, and enhanced opportunties for broadening the participation of groups that are currently under-represented in Computer Science in general, and Semantic Technologies, Web Reasoning, and related areas in particular.

语义技术、关联开放数据和知识表示形式(如OWL)正开始在广泛的应用中发挥越来越重要的作用。本体建模语言，如RDF、OWL和RIF，使得能够从知识库中显式编码的知识中推断出隐含的知识。Web推理及其相关领域主要研究本体语言的设计、分析和开发，研究它们的理论性质，以及有效的推理算法的设计和实现。迫切需要高级培训的研究生在这一领域进行研究，并为学术或工业生涯做准备。参加该领域的主要研究会议是这类培训的一个基本要素。网络推理和规则系统会议系列成立于2007年，吸引了网络推理领域的领先研究人员，并提供了一个展示该领域最新进展的场所。会议与推理网络暑期学校的共址也使其成为培养研究生的绝佳场所。该项目为美国研究生提供旅行津贴，让他们参加定于7月27日至29日在德国曼海姆举行的2013年网络推理和规则系统会议。这次会议与2013年的推理网络暑期学校以及第26届描述逻辑国际研讨会同时举行。除了参加会议和暑期学校的特邀演讲外，学生们还将从知名研究人员的个性化指导中受益。该项目的更广泛影响包括在新兴的网络推理领域培训新一代研究人员和技术人员，该领域目前正受到业界的极大兴趣和接受，并为扩大目前在计算机科学中代表性不足的群体的参与提供了更多机会，特别是语义技术、网络推理和相关领域。
