Semantics for Description Logics via Assumption-Based Argumentation: Preliminary Results

· 0 citations · 27 references

TL;DR

This paper explores how reasoning over DL terminologies can be captured in argumentative terms, by establishing a translation into Assumption-Based Argumentation (ABA), a rule-based formalism comprising defeasible assumptions, where argumentation semantics are used to retrieve sets of jointly acceptable assumptions.

On Combining Abstract Argumentation Frameworks with Knowledge Bases

The Knowledge-based Argumentation Framework (KAF), an extension of AF with a Knowledge Base expressed in DL - Lite, is discussed, which includes concept and role instances describing the topology of an AF, besides additional knowledge on the domain.

Embedding Deontic Logic Operators from a Large Ontology in Higher-order Logic ⋆

This paper looks at the results of testing deontic axioms and systems with example problems using Kripke semantics and possible worlds over accessibility relations in the context of a large ontology, and considers the notion of a sanction in a Contrary To Duty scenario.

Ranking-based Semantics for Incomplete Argumentation Frameworks

This paper introduces ranking-based semantics for incomplete argumentation frameworks (IAFs), and proposes a number of principles the ranking-based semantics for IAFs should follow, some adapted from existing principles out of the formal argumentation literature, others novel principles tailored to IAFs.

When Incompleteness Does Not Matter: The Case of Incomplete Abstract Argumentation Framework (Under the Possible Perspective)

Incomplete Abstract Argumentation Frameworks (iAAFs) extend Abstract Argumentation Frameworks (AAFs) by allowing arguments and attacks to be specified as uncertain, enabling a compact representation of alternative argumentation scenarios. Despite extensive work on reasoning with iAAFs, their expressive power relative...

Rewrite Once, Validate Anywhere: Producing OWL-Aware SHACL Constraints (Extended Version)

This work constructs a rewriting which takes as input both shapes and an OWL EL$^-$ ontology -- a fragment of OWL EL restricting the usage of existential restrictions -- and produces SHACL constraints, providing a powerful tool which simplifies combining reasoning with validation.

Syntactic Simplification of OWL Class Expressions

This paper proposes Class Expression Simplifier (CES), a novel algorithm for the syntactic simplification of class expressions in Description Logics (DL), which aims to preserve formal semantics while reducing representational complexity.
