Towards Pattern-Based Reasoning for Friendly Ontology Debugging
@article{Jarrar2008TowardsPR, title={Towards Pattern-Based Reasoning for Friendly Ontology Debugging}, author={Mustafa Jarrar and Stijn Heymans}, journal={Int. J. Artif. Intell. Tools}, year={2008}, volume={17}, pages={607-634} }
Reasoning with ontologies is a challenging task specially for non-logic experts. When checking whether an ontology contains rules that contradict each other, current description logic reasoners can only provide a list of the unsatisfiable concepts. Figuring out why these concepts are unsatisfiable, which rules cause conflicts, and how to resolve these conflicts, is all left to the ontology modeler himself. The problem becomes even more challenging in case of large or medium size ontologies…

The mappings are implemented as an extension to the DogmaModeler tool, which uses Racer as a background reasoning engine, and the expressive, methodological, and graphical capabilities of ORM make it a good candidate for use as a graphical notation for ontology languages.
