OWL-based preference representation and reasoning
Jinxiang Dong · Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems · 2008
Based on the preference reasoning by manipulating logical chain,a preference representation method using Web Ontology Language(OWL) was proposed.By OWL,the preference representation and reasoning could be combined,and the mature Description Logics(DL) reasoners,such as Racer,Jena,Fact++ and Pellet,could ensure the practicality of this technology.Preference operators could help users to express complicated preference when the user needed to conduct a complicated search.Furthermore,conditional preference could be easily added so that the expressiveness was enhanced.
