| Abstract: |
The amount of unstructured information on the Web has reached a critical level,
suggesting the need for the Semantic Web (SW). The SW expresses an initiative to
improve the World Wide Web, by adding semantic content to the provided
information, thus making the data accessible not only to humans but to machines
as well. The fulfilment of this goal requires the contribution of a variety of
research areas and tools: reasoning techniques that give the opportunity to
agents/machines to act autonomously on the environment of the Web in order to
fulfil the users’ needs and tools for assisting the end users in expressing
these needs and comprehending the derived results. This paper presents two
systems, namely O-DEVICE and VDR-DEVICE, developed by the Intelligent Systems
and Knowledge Processing (ISKP) group at the Department of Informatics,
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. These two systems are designed to
function in the SW environment. O-DEVICE is a system for querying and
inferencing about ontologies expressed in the OWL Lite sublanguage and
VDR-DEVICE is a visual integrated development environment for developing, using
and visualizing defeasible logic rule bases on top of RDF ontologies. |
