Abstract

pD* semantics extends the ‘if-semantics' of RDFS to a subset of the OWL vocabulary It leads to simple entailment rules and relatively low computational complexity for reasoning In this paper, we propose a forward-chaining reasoning algorithm to support RDFS entailments under the pD* semantics This algorithm extends the Sesame algorithm to cope with the pD* entailments In particular, an optimization to the dependent table between entailment rules is presented to eliminate much redundant inferring steps Finally, some test results are given to illustrate the correctness and performance of this algorithm.
