Implementing Query Answering for Hybrid MKNF Knowledge Bases
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...

Queries to Hybrid MKNF Knowledge Bases through Oracular Tabling
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...
