A Perfect Match for Reasoning, Explanation, and Reason Maintenance: OWL 2 RL and Semantic Wikis

Jakub Kotowski, François Bry · 2010

Abstract. Reasoning in wikis has focused so far mostly on expressiveness and tractability and neglected related issues of updates and explanation. In this demo, we show reasoning, explanation, and incremental updates in the KiWi wiki and argue that it is a perfect match for OWL 2 RL reasoning. Explanation nicely complements the “work-in-progress” focus of wikis by explaining how which information was derived and thus helps users to easily discover and remove sources of inconsistencies. Incremental updates are necessary to minimize reasoning times in a frequently changing wiki environment. 1
