摘要: Sequences are a natural part of the world to be modelled in ontologies. Yet Web Ontology Language, OWL, contains no specific support for ordering. It does, however, have constructs that can used model many aspects sequences, albeit imperfectly. This paper demonstrates design pattern modeling order within OWL-DL. allows us use standard DL reasoning perform matching akin regular expression and works surprisingly well. The main point this is formulating sequences OWL-DL brings real benefits users by allowing them work at higher level abstraction than raw deal with situations which details under specified.
