Hi Till - we are putting together some materials that we hope to have 
ready sometime on Monday.    (01)

There are other query languages with more or less well-defined semantics 
but I think it is only necessary to have enough prototypical examples to 
represent a broad range of logics.    (02)

The ones you have listed are a good start. It would be nice to have 
something at the FOL level. Common Logic does not yet have a query 
language. I don't know if TPTP (http://www.cs.miami.edu/~tptp/) is in 
scope, but that is the only query language I know of at the FOL level.

We have been working on an OWL ontology based on OntoIOp terminology 
extended with some concepts needed for API4KB.
Also we have been looking at how this would be applied to define the 
semantics of operations in API4KB and I will describe that with a few 
slides.

Thanks, I will take a look.    (03)
