F-Logic Data and Knowledge Reasoning in the Semantic Web Context

  • Chapter
Intelligent Engineering Systems and Computational Cybernetics

The paper addresses problems of data and knowledge reasoning in the domain of Semantic Web. The objective of this research was to explore object-oriented logic programming languages in the light of Semantic Web concept. It will be shown that logical formalisms integrating the deductive component and the object-oriented approach and featuring the second-order syntax and the first-order semantics provide an adequate Web data representation and reasoning. The paper describes elements relevant for Web data representation and integration for chosen data domain.
