The Power of Semantic Rules in Rulelog: Fundamentals and Recent Progress (Extended Abstract of Tutorial Presentation)

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNISA,volume 9203)

Abstract

In this tutorial, we provide a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the fundamental concepts and recent progress in the area of Rulelog, a leading approach to semantic rules knowledge representation and reasoning.
