The SCREECH OWL Reasoner - Scalable Approximate ABox Reasoning with OWL
Pascal Hitzler, Denny Vrandečić · Journal of Bioresource Management · 2005
We present a preliminary version of the approximate OWL reasoning system SCREECH. It builds on the KAON2 system and performs OWL ABox reasoning in an approximate manner. It trades soundness of reasoning for efficiency, with resulting polynomial worst-case data complexity. It has been developed for use in time-critical applications where quick response time is more important than a full guarantee of correctness of answers. The theoretical background for the system is explained in [Hitzler and Vrandecic, 2005] and is being presented at the conference.
