Consistency Verification of a Non-monotonic Deductive System based on OWL Lite

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show a method that is able to detect a particular class of semantic inconsistencies in a deductive system (DS). A DS verified by this method contains a set of production rules, and an OWL Lite ontology that defines the problem domain. The antecedent of a rule is a formula in Disjunctive Normal Form, which encompasses first-order literals and linear arithmetic constraints, and the consequent is a list of actions that can add or delete assertions in a non-monotonic manner. By building an ATMS-like theory the method is able to give a specification of all the initial Fact Bases (FBs), and the rules that would have to be executed from these initial FBs to produce an inconsistency.
