Rule-based OWL Reasoning for specific Embedded Devices

Presented at: 10th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2011)

by Christian Seitz

Ontologies have been used for formal representation of knowledge for many years now. One possible knowledge representation language for ontologies is the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language, informally OWL2. The OWL specification includes the definition of variants of OWL, with different levels of expressiveness. OWL DL and OWL Lite are based on Description Logics, for which sound, complete, and terminating reasoners exit. Unfortunately, all these reasoners are too complex for embedded systems. But since evaluation of ontologies on these resource constrained devices becomes more and more necessary (e.g. for diagnostics) we developed a OWL reasoner for embedded devices. We use the OWL 2 sublanguage OWL 2 RL, which can be completely implemented using rule-based reasoning engines. In this paper we present the used embedded hardware, the implemented reasoning component, and results regarding performance and memory consumption.

Rule-based OWL Reasoning for specific Embedded Devices was presented at this event.
