  • Description Logics
    Description Logics Franz Baader1, Ian Horrocks2, and Ulrike Sattler2 1 Institut f¨urTheoretische Informatik, TU Dresden, Germany [email protected] 2 Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester, UK {horrocks,sattler}@cs.man.ac.uk Summary. In this chapter, we explain what description logics are and why they make good ontology languages. In particular, we introduce the description logic SHIQ, which has formed the basis of several well-known ontology languages, in- cluding OWL. We argue that, without the last decade of basic research in description logics, this family of knowledge representation languages could not have played such an important rˆolein this context. Description logic reasoning can be used both during the design phase, in order to improve the quality of ontologies, and in the deployment phase, in order to exploit the rich structure of ontologies and ontology based information. We discuss the extensions to SHIQ that are required for languages such as OWL and, finally, we sketch how novel reasoning services can support building DL knowledge bases. 1 Introduction The aim of this section is to give a brief introduction to description logics, and to argue why they are well-suited as ontology languages. In the remainder of the chapter we will put some flesh on this skeleton by providing more technical details with respect to the theory of description logics, and their relationship to state of the art ontology languages. More detail on these and other matters related to description logics can be found in [6]. Ontologies There have been many attempts to define what constitutes an ontology, per- haps the best known (at least amongst computer scientists) being due to Gruber: “an ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualisation” [47].3 In this context, a conceptualisation means an abstract model of some aspect of the world, taking the form of a definition of the properties of important 3 This was later elaborated to “a formal specification of a shared conceptualisation” [21].

Ontology Matching OM-2016 Proceedings of the ISWC Workshop Introduction Ontology matching1 is a key interoperability enabler for the semantic web, as well as a useful tactic in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic hetero- geneity problem. It takes ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspondences between the semantically related entities of those on- tologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merg- ing, data translation, query answering or navigation on the web of data. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to in- teroperate.

  • Justification Oriented Proofs In
    Justification Oriented Proofs in OWL Matthew Horridge, Bijan Parsia, and Ulrike Sattler School of Computer Science, The University of Manchester Abstract. Justifications — that is, minimal entailing subsets of an on- tology — are currently the dominant form of explanation provided by ontology engineering environments, especially those focused on the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Despite this, there are naturally occurring justifications that can be very difficult to understand. In essence, justifi- cations are merely the premises of a proof and, as such, do not articulate the (often non-obvious) reasoning which connect those premises with the conclusion. This paper presents justification oriented proofs as a poten- tial solution to this problem. 1 Introduction and Motivation Modern ontology development environments such as Prot´eg´e-4, the NeOn Toolkit, Swoop, and Top Braid Composer, allow users to request explanations for entail- ments (inferences) that they encounter when editing or browsing ontologies. In- deed, the provision of explanation generating functionality is generally seen as being a vital component in such tools. Over the last few years, justifications have become the dominant form of explanation in these tools. This paper examines justifications as a kind of explanation and highlights some problems with them. It then presents justification lemmatisation as a non-standard reasoning service, which can be used to augment a justification with intermediate inference steps, and gives rise to a structure known as a justification oriented proof. Ultimately, a justification oriented proof could be used as an input into some presentation de- vice to help a person step though a justification that is otherwise too difficult for them to understand.

  • Justification Masking In
    Proc. 23rd Int. Workshop on Description Logics (DL2010), CEUR-WS 573, Waterloo, Canada, 2010. Justification Masking in OWL Matthew Horridge1, Bijan Parsia1, Ulrike Sattler1 The University of Manchester, UK Abstract. This paper presents a discussion on the phenomena of mask- ing in the context of justifications for entailments. Various types of mask- ing are introduced and a definition for each type is given. 1 Introduction Many open source and commercial ontology development tools such as Prot´eg´e- 4, Swoop, The NeOn Toolkit and Top Braid Composer use justifications [5] as a kind of explanation for entailments in ontologies. A justification for an entail- ment, also known as a MinA [1, 2], or a MUPS [11] if specific to explaining why a class name is unsatisfiable, is a minimal subset of an ontology that is sufficient for the given entailment to hold. More precisely, a justification is taken to be a subset minimal set of axioms that supports an entailment. Justifications are a popular in the OWL world and, as the widespread tooling support shows, have been used in preference to full blown proofs for explaining why an entailment follows from a set of axioms. However, despite the popularity of justifications, they suffer from several problems. Some of these problems, namely issues arising from the potential su- perfluity of axioms in justifications, were highlighted in [3]. Specifically, while all of the axioms in a justification are needed to support the entailment in question, there may be parts of these axioms that are not required for the entailment to hold. For example, consider J = {A ⊑ ∃R.B, Domain(R, C),C ⊑ D ⊓E} which entails A ⊑ D.

  • Empirical Study of Logic-Based Modules: Cheap Is Cheerful
    Empirical Study of Logic-Based Modules: Cheap Is Cheerful Chiara Del Vescovo1, Pavel Klinov2, Bijan Parsia1, Ulrike Sattler1, Thomas Schneider3, and Dmitry Tsarkov1 1 University of Manchester, UK {delvescc|bparsia|sattler|tsarkov}@cs.man.ac.uk 2 University of Ulm, Germany [email protected] 3 Universit¨atBremen, Germany [email protected] Abstract. For ontology reuse and integration, a number of approaches have been devised that aim at identifying modules, i.e., suitably small sets of \relevant" axioms from ontologies. Here we consider three logically sound notions of modules: MEX modules, only applicable to inexpressive ontologies; modules based on semantic locality, a sound approximation of the first; and modules based on syntactic locality, a sound approximation of the second (and thus the first), widely used since these modules can be extracted from OWL DL ontologies in time polynomial in the size of the ontology. In this paper we investigate the quality of both approximations over a large corpus of ontologies, using our own implementation of seman- tic locality, which is the first to our knowledge. In particular, we show with statistical significance that, in most cases, there is no difference between the two module notions based on locality; where they differ, the additional axioms can either be easily ruled out or their number is relatively small. We classify the axioms that explain the rare differences into four kinds of \culprits" and discuss which of those can be avoided by extending the definition of syntactic locality. Finally, we show that differences between MEX and locality-based modules occur for a minor- ity of ontologies from our corpus and largely affect (approximations of) expressive ontologies { this conclusion relies on a much larger and more diverse sample than existing comparisons between MEX and syntactic locality-based modules.
