Main groups of topics • Logical grounding of reasoning • Standardisation of OWL, possible extensions • Usability, patterns… • Software infrastructures • Specific applications
Main topics • Advances in reasoners for OWL • Improved tableau reasoning • Use of DB to optimise DL reasoning (Oracle, Postgress) • Abductive reasoning • Features/extensions/patterns in/for OWL (2 and forth) • „Easy keys“ • Integrity constraints (how to open/close worlds…) • Datatype system for modelling quantities • Probabilistic extension (Pronto) • „May“ axioms (in medicine) • Description Graph extension (modelling „valid settings“ – vs. SysML as OMG standard) • Calculations (via annotation…) • Enrichment for ontology matching and KDD (by UEP) • User side – visualisation and editing • Manchester syntax; SWRL (APIs…) • Pre-processing – pattern-based manipulation (OPPL) • ACE – use of controlled language for authoring OWL, SWRL • Narrative presentations over ontologies • Explanation of reasoning results (laconic…)
Main topics (cont’d) • Infrastructure • Interface for accessing reasoners (OWLlink) • Versioning • Collaborative editing • Lint tool (Pellint) – removing features that increase computational complexity • Translation between different languages (based on ‘heterogeneous algebraic specification language’) • Domain-specific applications • Biomedicine (whole section!) • Legal domain (OWL Judge) • Access control • Genealogy • Product design • Web portal design • Panel discussion: How OWL may fail?
