Abstract

Traditional discretionary access control, without data alteration operators, applied directly on ontologies can result in revealing unintended information because ontologies contain meta-information about objects. As an alternative we provide a constraint logic programming based policy language that can extract, rove or desensitize sensitive concepts in ontologies prior to requested disclosures. Our policies are stratified Horn clauses with constructive negation, and our constraint syst uses a finitary syst of ZF sets developed by Dovier et al. - and consequently, admits a three-valued Kripke-Kleene santics. Consequently, it is suitable for safeguarding meta-information stored on the Santic web using OWL. We show how our three-valued santics faithfully represents traditional OWL santics.
