We propose Considerate Reasoning, a novel specification and verification technique based on object invariants. This technique supports succinct specifications of implementations wh...
Abstract. Ontologies and rules are usually loosely coupled in knowledge representation formalisms. In fact, ontologies use open-world reasoning while the leading semantics for rule...
An important issue for the Semantic Web is how to combine open-world ontology languages with closed-world (non-monotonic) rule paradigms. Several proposals for hybrid languages all...
Knowledge representation formalisms used on the Semantic Web adhere to a strict open world assumption. Therefore, nonmonotonic reasoning techniques are often viewed with scepticism...
