Abstract

Ontology languages, based on Description Logics, and nonmonotonic rule languages are two major formalisms for the representation of expressive knowledge and reasoning with it, that build on fundamentally different ideas and formal underpinnings. Within the Semantic Web initiative, driven by the World Wide Web Consortium, standardized languages for these formalisms have been developed that allow their usage in knowledge-intensive applications integrating increasing amounts of data on the Web. Often, such applications require the advantages of both these formalisms, but due to their inherent differences, the integration is a challenging task. In this course, we review the two formalisms and their characteristics and show different ways of achieving their integration. We also discuss an available tool based on one such integration with favorable properties, such as polynomial data complexity for query answering when standard inference is polynomial in the used ontology language.
