Extending Expressiveness of Knowledge Description with Contextual Approach
PublicationIn the paper we show how imposing the contextual structure of a knowledge base can lead to extending its expressiveness without changing the underlying language. We show this using the example of Description Logics, which constitutes a base for a range of dialects for expressing knowledge in ontologies (including state-of-the-art OWL). While the contextual frameworks have been used in knowledge bases, they have been perceived as...
