Abstract

In this work we present the design and general architecture of DR-Prolog, a system for defeasible reasoning and proof explanation in the Semantic Web, and the implementation of three different tools that constitute the DR-Prolog Tool Suite: (a) the DR-Prolog API; (b) the DR-Prolog Web application; and (c) the DR-Prolog desktop application. DR-Prolog supports reasoning with Defeasible Logic theories and ontological knowledge in RDF(S) and OWL, is compatible with RuleML, and enables extracting meaningful proof explanations for the answers it computes.
