Abstract

Dealing with context-sensitive information is a crucial aspect in the management of semantic web data. Despite the importance of this topic, there is so far no accepted consensus regarding the precise way of encoding and even more reasoning on contextual knowledge. In this paper, we introduce an approach to reason over contextual knowledge in RDF, while committing to the semantics of a contextual description logic. The lines of this paper are many folds. First, we present an extension of OWL 2 DL for contexts, that we call {OWL 2 DLC. It is a two-dimensional web ontology language with one dimension for contextualized object knowledge and one dimension for contexts. Second, we define an OWLC profile for contextual reasoning, similar to OWL 2 RL. And finally, we demonstrate that the model can be practically implemented using existing semantic web technologies, especially using SPIN rules.
