Verifying OWL and ORL Ontologies in PVS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Semantic Web vision is being realized to reach the full potential of the Web. Semantic data modeling is the foundation of the Semantic Web. The Web Ontology Language (OWL) and OWL Rules Language (ORL) provides basic machinery to the semantic mark-up for data. However, there is limited tool support for OWL and no tool support currently for ORL. In this paper, we propose to model OWL and ORL language semantics in PVS specification language so that OWL and ORL ontologies can be transformed and verified in the Prototype Verification System (PVS). PVS user-defined proof strategies are also developed to automate the proof process.

Verifying and Validating Multi-layered Models with OWL FA Toolkit
This paper details the use of OWL FA Toolkit for verifying and validating multi-layered (meta-) modelling using ontologies described in OWL FA. We will show how OWL FA and its reasoner (OWL FA Toolkit) could benefit software modellers on leveraging the software development life cycle through a practical use case.
متن کاملPetri Net based approach for merging ontologies in web service composition scenario
Ontologies are being used for construction of semantically rich service descriptions. In case of Web service composition, techniques for planning, composing, editing, reasoning and analyzing of these descriptions are required. It’s necessary to resolve semantic interoperability between services to achieve Web services coordination and collaboration. Matchmaking and merging of service descriptio...
متن کاملVerifying feature models using OWL
Feature models are widely used in domain engineering to capture common and variant features among systems in a particular domain. However, he lack of a formal semantics and reasoning support of feature models has hindered the development of this area. Industrial experiences also how that methods and tools that can support feature model analysis are badly appreciated. Such reasoning tool should ...
متن کاملPushing the Boundaries of Tractable Ontology Reasoning
We identify a class of Horn ontologies for which standard reasoning tasks such as instance checking and classification are tractable. The class is general enough to include the OWL 2 EL, QL, and RL profiles. Verifying whether a Horn ontology belongs to the class can be done in polynomial time. We show empirically that the class includes many real-world ontologies that are not included in any OW...
متن کاملA Semantic Web Approach to Feature Modeling and Verification
Feature models are widely used in domain engineering to capture common and variant concepts among systems in a particular domain. However, the lack of a formal semantics of feature models has hindered the development of this area. This paper presents a Semantic Web environment for modeling and verifying feature diagrams using ontologies. We use OWL DL (a decidable dialect of OWL) to precisely c...
