  10. Links to SWSL • Rule language effort • Choreography and orchestration language Dieter Fensel dieter.fensel@deri.org

  11. Rule language effort Six points I want to make: • DL is an interesting subset of 1st order logic • HL is an interesting subset of 1st order logic • Full 1st order logic is an interesting language • Pure logics are cumbersome tools for modeling • SWRL is crap • A useful rule language for the semantic web must follow a DL-minimalistic approach Dieter Fensel dieter.fensel@deri.org

  12. (1) DL is interesting • because of its decidability/tractability properties • spoken for the man on the street it is the fragment of logic that can be computationally explored around the existential quantifier. • it is therefore worth to become standardized in OWL • besides the fact that I do not like at all OWL-Lite which is an overkill, • a smooth extension of RDFS would have been much more appropriate. • Therefore we develope OWL-Flight (restricting OWL-Lite to DLP and extend it by RDF features).      Dieter Fensel dieter.fensel@deri.org

  13. (2) HL is interesting • because of its decidability/tractability properties • Spoken for the man on the street it is the fragment of logic that can be computationally explored around the all quantifier • without function symbols it is decidable and • with minimal-model semantics function symbols, non-monotinicity of negation, and even transitive closure (an extension of first order logic) can be expressed. • It is therefore worth to become standardized by W3C, however, not in a way that destroy all features of rule languages by mixing it up too much with DL type of expressions. • Therefore we develope OWL-Flight (restricting OWL-Lite to DLP and extend it by rule features).   Dieter Fensel dieter.fensel@deri.org

  14. (3) First order logic is interesting • In oposition to DLs and HLs it provides significant more flexibility in writing down required axioms. • This language is not fully mechanizable in terms ofreasoning support, however, • many interesting theorems can be proven and the theorem prover community has made significant progress over the last years. • First order language could define the common umbrella, where DLs and HLs are sublanguages and unified. • Therefore, we will redefine OWL-Full. Dieter Fensel dieter.fensel@deri.org

  15. (4) Pure logic is cumbersom • Pure logics is a cumbersome tool for modeling • Therefore, extensions like Flogic that allow quantification over classes and attributes are that helpful. • W3C recommendations should care for this if they want to make their languages widely adopted. • OWL-Flight provide these features. Dieter Fensel dieter.fensel@deri.org

  16. (5) I strongly dislike SWRL • since it spoils the nice properties of rule languages for the price of defining the rule language as an extension of DLs. • SWRL is meaningless since it defines a syntactical restriction of 1st order logic without any computational justification. • SWRL is as undecidable and untractable as first order logic. • Therefore, it is meaningless to syntactically restrict first order logic in that way. Dieter Fensel dieter.fensel@deri.org

  17. (6) A useful rule language for the semantic web must follow a different approach • It should emply the full power of the HL fragment and include DL features only in case they do not harm this language type. • Therefore, a HL language should be defined as an extension of RDFS and/or OWL-Lite (where OWL Lite is reduced to an actual lite subset of DL). • That is the rationale underlying OWL-Flight. Dieter Fensel dieter.fensel@deri.org

  18. Choreography and orchestration • Choreography is about communication • Orchestration is about task decomposition • Both elements require the specification of dynamics • We are using Abstract State Machines as a point of departure to formalize the basic principles for these languages. • And we are very eager to learn from you!
