We review a method of generating logical rules, or axioms, from empirical data. This method, using closed set properties of formal concept analysis, has been previously described ...
Description logics (DLs) and rules are formalisms that emphasize different aspects of knowledge representation: whereas DLs are focused on specifying and reasoning about conceptual...
