ABSTRACT
For the US Department of Defense (DoD)'s efforts to
achieve net-centricity, more intelligent ways of
handling information must be pursued, in particular
using machine-interpretable semantic models, i.e.,
ontologies. One approach, which we've adopted in
current and emerging research projects, is to combine
Semantic Web technologies with logic programming,
thereby utilizing standards-based ontologies and rules
and yet ensuring that the runtime automated reasoning
over these is efficient. In this paper, we discuss our
current Semantic Environment for Enterprise Reasoning
(SEER) architecture, which combines an Enterprise
Service Bus with our Semantic Web Ontologies and
Rules for Interoperability with Efficient Reasoning
(SWORIER) system. SWORIER converts OWL ontologies
and SWRL rules into logic programming, thereby enabling
efficient runtime reasoning using Prolog. We also briefly
discuss potential enhancements to such an environment,
including the use of constraint logic, meta-reasoning, and
hybrid logic.
