Cut Might Cautiously

This note is on cautious cut elimination for one of Veltman's might logics. Syntactically, the logic is presented as an extension of a sequent system for classical propositional logic (hence: cpl). I show that this extension preserves the completeness and decidability of cpl. The proof has cautious cut elimination as a corollary. I also give a rather general syntactic proof of cautious cut elim...

Cautiously Approaching SWRL

The Semantic Web Rules Language (SWRL) has recently been proposed as the basic rules language for the Semantic Web. SWRL is unusual in being an undecidable superset of a very expressive description logic OWL DL (SHOIN (D)) and a simple rules language, Datalog. In this paper, we attempt to evolve OWL DL toward SWRL, but cautiously and carefully. We strive to retain practical decidability. We see...
