Open vs Closed world, Rules vs Queries: Use Cases from Industry.
Gary Jia Hao Ng · 2005
Abstract. This paper is a discussion of the application of OWL driven by commercial use cases. These use cases support the integration of OWL with rule-like extensions, taking advantage of open-world semantics, but with defaults and negation as failure. This paper reports on our analysis of these use cases, current solutions using queries, and outlines the role OWL plays in a semantically driven enterprise architecture. 1
