In this paper we present the Quonto Inconsistent Data handler (QuID). QuID is a reasoner for OWL 2 QL that is based on the system Quonto and is able to deal with inconsistent ontologies. The central aspect of QuID is that it implements two different, orthogonal strategies for dealing with inconsistency: ABox repairing techniques, based on data manipulation, and consistent query answering techni...

This deliverable presents restricted variants of the OWL Lite, DL and Full species of the OWL ontology language, called OWL Lite−, OWL DL− and OWL Full−, respectively. OWL Lite− and OWL DL− are strict subsets of OWL Lite and OWL DL. They are limited in such a way that there exists a translation from both languages directly into dunction-free logic programs, i.e., Datalog. Thus, any OWL Lite− or...

Probabilistic OWL (PR-OWL) improves the Web Ontology Language (OWL) with the ability to treat uncertainty using Multi-Entity Bayesian Networks (MEBN). PR-OWL 2 presents a better integration with OWL and its underlying logic, allowing the creation of ontologies with probabilistic and deterministic parts. However, there are scalability problems since PR-OWL 2 is built upon OWL 2 DL which is a ver...

The tseet contact call, common to both black-capped and mountain chickadees, is among the most frequently produced call of each species, but has remained little studied until now. In the current study, the authors characterized the tseet call of adult allopatric and sympatric black-capped and mountain chickadees in terms of nine acoustic features in a fashion similar to descriptive accounts of ...

In this paper, we apply automatic tools to the verification of interaction protocols of Web services described in OWL-S. Specifically, we propose a modeling procedure that preserves the control flow and the data flow of OWL-S Process Models. The result of our work provides a modeling and verification procedure for OWL-S Process Models.

Although OWL is rather expressive, it has a very serious limitation on datatypes; i.e., it does not support customised datatypes. It has been pointed out that many potential users will not adopt OWL unless this limitation is overcome, and the W3C Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group has set up a task force to address this issue. This paper provides a solution for this issue ...

This paper presents mapping rules to conceptually model an Entity Relationship (ER) diagram and Extended Entity Relationship (EER) diagram from OWL by identifying ER and EER constructs in OWL. OWL has been designed for the semantic web, but data in OWL format is not easy to manipulate or query. The conceptual view of OWL presented in this paper is necessary to understand OWL and OWL data, and w...

Montane temperate forests in central and southern Europe host diverse small mammal assemblages, but the fluctuations these assemblages correlation with owl predators are still poorly explored. The key questions of our study were how coexisting owls responded to different prey whether any particular species governed predator–prey co-dynamics. We conducted a long-term (2004–2020) low-elevation (3...

T HE volume o’ f literature considering the food habits of owls approaches prodigious proportions (see Earhart and Johnson, 1970). Much of this information has been derived from analysis of the pellets of non-digestible matter which these raptors egest periodically. A number of authors have reviewed this technique and its applications (Craighead and Craighead, 1956; Errington, 1930, 1932; Fishe...
