Abstract

The development of the Semantic Web proceeds in layers. Currently the most advanced layer that has reached maturity is the ontology layer, in the from of the DAML+OIL language which corresponds to a rich description logic. The next step will be the the realization of logical rule systems on top of the ontology layer.Computationally simple nonmonotonic rule systems show promise to play an important role in electronic commerce on the Semantic Web. In this paper we outline how nonmonotonic rule systems in the form of defeasible reasoning, can be built on top of description logics.
