Pellet: An OWL DL Reasoner
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reasoning capability is of crucial importance to many applications developed for the Semantic Web. Description Logics provide sound and complete reasoning algorithms that can effectively handle the DL fragment of the Web Ontology Language (OWL). However, existing DL reasoners were implemented long before OWL came into existence and lack some features that are essential for Semantic Web applications, such as reasoning with individuals, querying capabilities, nominal support, elimination of the unique name assumption and so forth. With these objectives in mind we have implemented an OWL DL reasoner and deployed it in various kinds of applications.

Pellet: A practical OWL-DL reasoner
In this paper, we present a brief overview of Pellet: a complete OWL-DL reasoner with acceptable to very good performance, extensive iddleware, and a number of unique features. Pellet is the first sound and complete OWL-DL reasoner with extensive support for reasoning ith individuals (including nominal support and conjunctive query), user-defined datatypes, and debugging support for ontologies....
متن کاملDLEJena: A practical forward-chaining OWL 2 RL reasoner combining Jena and Pellet
This paper describes DLEJena, a practical reasoner for the OWL 2 RL profile that combines the forward-chaining rule engine of Jena and the Pellet DL reasoner. This combination is based on rule templates, instantiating at run-time a set of ABox OWL 2 RL/RDF Jena rules dedicated to a particular TBox that is handled by Pellet. The goal of DLEJena is to handle efficiently, through instantiated rule...
متن کاملImplementing OWL Defaults
While it has been argued that knowledge representation for the World Wide Web must respect the open world assumption due to the “open” nature of the Web, users of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) have often requested some form of non-monotonic reasoning. In this paper, we present preliminary optimizations and an implementation of a restricted version of Reiter’s default logic as an extension to ...
متن کاملTowards Incremental Reasoning Through Updates in OWL-DL
In this paper, we investigate incrementally updating classifications of ontologies encoded in the expressive description logic SHOIN (D), which also corresponds to the W3C standard Web Ontology Language, OWL-DL. In particular we present various optimizations for incremental classification under both axiom addition and removal. Several of the optimizations are independent of the logic and proof ...
متن کاملDemonstrating Pronto: a Non-Monotonic Probabilistic OWL Reasoner (Demo Description)
The demonstration presents Pronto a prototype of a nonmonotonic probabilistic reasoner for very expressive Description Logics. Pronto is built on top of the OWL DL reasoner Pellet, and is capable of performing default probabilistic reasoning in the Semantic Web. It can handle uncertainty in terminological and assertional DL axioms. The demonstration covers Pronto’s features and capabilities as ...
