Abstract
The emergence of the Semantic Web suggests new perspectives to knowledge acquisition and representation, increasing the usefulness of possible-worlds semantics of epistemic logic (knowledge, belief and information). In this poster, it is argued that possible worlds are a foundation of the Semantic Web, because one can (i) address the problem of the property of omniscience in logical approaches to knowledge, (ii) develop question-answering systems interrogation and the semantics of questions, and (iii) see what the role model theory plays is in the Semantic Web research.
