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...
Using category theoretic notions, in particular diagrams and their colimits, we provide a common semantic backbone for various notions of modularity in structured ontologies, and o...
Many kinds of knowledge-based system would be easier to develop and maintain if domain experts (as opposed to knowledge engineers) were in a position to define and edit the knowled...
In this paper we deal with the problem of providing natural language front-ends to databases upon which an ontology layer has been added. Specifically, we are interested in expres...
