Concept Model Semantics for DL Preferential Reasoning
"... Abstract. The preferential and rational consequence relations first studied by Lehmann and colleagues play a central role in non-monotonic reasoning, not least because they provide the foundation for the determination of the important notion of rational closure. Although they can be applied directly ..."

directly to a large variety of logics, these constructions suffer from the limitation that they are largely propositional in nature. One of the main obstacles in moving beyond the propositional case has been the lack of a formal semantics which appropriately generalizes the preferential and ranked models
Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Preferential Models and Cumulative Logics
, 1990
"... Many systems that exhibit nonmonotonic behavior have been described and studied already in the literature. The general notion of nonmonotonic reasoning, though, has almost always been described only negatively, by the property it does not enjoy, i.e. monotonicity. We study here general patterns of ..."

We concentrate on a number of families of nonmonotonic consequence relations, defined in the style of Gentzen [13]. Both proof-theoretic and semantic points
The DL-Lite family and relations

The recently introduced series of description logics under the common moniker ‘DL-Lite ’ has attracted attention of the description logic and semantic web communities due to the low computational complexity of inference, on the one hand, and the ability to represent conceptual modeling formalisms, o ..."

System Z: a natural ordering of defaults with tractable applications to default reasoning
, 1990
"... Recent progress towards unifying the probabilistic and preferential models semantics for non-monotonic reasoning has led to a remarkable observation: Any consistent system of default rules imposes an unambiguous and natural ordering on these rules which, to emphasize its sim-ple and basic character, ..."

Preferential querying for the semantic web
- INF. SCIENCES AND TECH. BULLETIN OF THE ACM SLOVAKIA
, 2010
"... We present a model of user preference based on fuzzy sets and aggregation. The model is implemented in a webbased system Kore enabling preferential search for many users with different preferences within one arbitrary domain. The implementation includes a tool for top-k search and a tool for learnin ..."

Piazza: Data Management Infrastructure for Semantic Web
, 2003
"... The Semantic Web envisions a World Wide Web in which data is described with rich semantics and applications can pose complex queries. To this point, researchers have defined new languages for specifying meanings for concepts and developed techniques for reasoning about them, using RDF as the data mo ..."

Hypertableau Reasoning for Description Logics

Unnecessary nondeterminism and the construction of large models are two primary sources of inefficiency in the tableau-based reasoning ca ..."

Reasoning about Information Change
, 1997
"... In this paper, we have combined techniques from epistemic and dynamic logic to arrive at a logic for describing multi-agent information change. The key concept of dynamic semantics is that the meaning of an assertion is the way in which the assertion changes the information of the hearer. Thus a dyn ..."

For argumentation frameworks, instead, argumentation semantics are used. This paper studies the relation between the two types of semantics. Several a ..."

OWL DL vs. OWL Flight: Conceptual Modeling and Reasoning for the Semantic Web
, 2005
"... The Semantic Web languages RDFS and OWL have been around for some time now. However, the presence of these languages has not brought the breakthrough of the Semantic Web the creators of the languages had hoped for. OWL has a number of problems in the area of interoperability and usability in the con ..."
