Abstract

Hybrid knowledge bases (HKB's) [11] were developed to provide formal models for the mediation of data and knowledge bases [14,15]. They are based on Generalized Annotated Logic Programming (GAP)[7] and employ an inference mechanism, HKB-resolution, that is considerably simpler than those that have been proposed for GAP. The simplicity of HKB-resolution is explained in this paper by showing that it is a special case of Ω-resolution, which was introduced in [9]. A generalization of Ω-resolution to lattices that are not ordinary is also explored.
