Combining OWL with F-Logic Rules and Defaults

Heiko Kattenstroth, Wolfgang May, Franz Schenk

Abstract:

We describe the combination of OWL and F-Logic for the architecture of Semantic Web application nodes. The approach has been implemented by combining an existing Jena-based architecture with an external Florid instance. The approach is based on a loose coupling where the F-Logic rules are used for e.g., role-value-maps, closed-world-reasoning, (stratified) negation, aggregation, and definition of answer views; additionally the default inheritance of F-Logic can be exploited.
