Jorge Pérez, Marcelo Arenas and Claudio Gutierrez were awarded the Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA) Ten-Year Award as the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2016) in recognition of the considerable impact that their paper "Semantics and Complexity of SPARQL" has had on the community since its original publication at ISWC 2006. The paper outlined a formal framework for SPARQL that has been cited and reused in hundreds of subsequent works studying the query language.
