Ontology as a Source for Rule Generation
This addresses the need for automated rule generation in semantic web systems, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing ontology-based methods without demonstrating broad impact.
The paper tackled the problem of generating rules from OWL ontologies to support Semantic Web Expert Systems, identifying new rule types for processing web ontologies to build knowledge bases.
This paper discloses the potential of OWL (Web Ontology Language) ontologies for generation of rules. The main purpose of this paper is to identify new types of rules, which may be generated from OWL ontologies. Rules, generated from OWL ontologies, are necessary for the functioning of the Semantic Web Expert System. It is expected that the Semantic Web Expert System (SWES) will be able to process ontologies from the Web with the purpose to supplement or even to develop its knowledge base.
