We present a web system architecture using ontologies to improve the behavior of the system from the performance viewpoint. Since web system performance indexes depend on state an...
Abstract. A nearest neighbor search procedure is presented, for retrieving resources in knowledge bases expressed in OWL. The procedure exploits a semidistance for annotated resour...
This paper provides an account of the representation of defaults in Cyc and their semantics in terms of first order logic with reification. Default reasoning is a complex thing, a...
