Reasoning over OWL/SWRL Ontologies under CWA and UNA for Industrial Applications

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7106))

Abstract

As expressive schema languages, Web Ontology Language (OWL) and Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) have been widely introduced to many industrial applications. Most existing OWL reasoners hold Open World Assumption (OWA) and do not hold Unique Name Assumption (UNA). They lack efficiency when they are applied to industrial models which capture information under Closed World Assumption (CWA) and UNA. To overcome the problem, this paper proposes a novel backward chained ABox reasoner which efficiently reasons through OWL and SWRL under CWA and UNA.
