Abstract
Ontology-based reasoning is considered a crucial task in the area of knowledge management. In this context, the interest in approaches that resort to Datalog (and its extensions) for implementing various reasoning tasks over ontologies is growing. Nonetheless, looking from the developer point of view, one can notice that the editing environments for ontologies on the one hand and Datalog-like logic programs on the other hand are often developed independently and miss a common perspective. In this paper we face with this issue proposing the integration of two major development environments for Datalog programs and Ontologies, respectively: ASPIDE and protégé. We extended both systems with specific plugins that enable a synergic interaction between the two development environments. The developer can then handle both ontologies and logic-based reasoning over them by exploiting specific tools integrated to work together.
