1. OWL Full Semantics -- RDF-Compatible Model-Theoretic Semantics by Peter F. Patel-Schneider, Patrick Hayes and Ian Horrocks W3C Recommendation, 2004 http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-semantics/rdfs.html Presented by Jie Bao RPI Sept 11, 2008 Part 2 of RDF/OWL Semantics Tutorial http://tw.rpi.edu/wiki/index.php/RDF_and_OWL_Semantics

2. Disclaimer The semantics and inference rules about RDFS Plus /RDFS 3.0 are rolely Jie Bao’s own and do not reflect the positions of either W3C (or any of its working group) or any of the RDFS Plus /RDF 3.0 proposals (citation on the page RDFS Plus: a Rule Subset of OWL ).RDFS Plus: a Rule Subset of OWL 2

11. OWL Extensions to RDFS Constructing classes: – e.g.,     Constructing properties: – e.g., inverseOf Property characteristics: – e.g., transitive, functional, symmetric Mapping – Equality, non-equality (between classes, properties, ind.) 11

12. Direct MT Sem. vs RDF MT Sem. Direct Model-Theoretical Semantics – For OWL DL (thus also OWL Lite) – Simpler than the RDF MT Semantics – Corresponds to the semantics of DL SHOIN(D) – Decidability guaranteed RDF-Compatible Model-Theoretical Semantics – For OWL Full (thus also OWL DL and OWL Lite) – Extends RDFS Semantics 12

28. Boolean Operations and Enumeration If E is then ∈ IEXT(IS (E)) iff owl:complementOf x,y ∈ IOC and ICEXT(x)=IOT-ICEXT(y) owl:unionOf x ∈ IOC and y is a sequence of y 1,…y n over IOC and ICEXT(x) = ICEXT(y 1 ) ∪ … ∪ ICEXT(y n ) owl:intersectionOf x ∈ IOC and y is a sequence of y 1,…y n over IOC and ICEXT(x) = ICEXT(y 1 ) ∩…∩ ICEXT(y n ) owl:oneOf x ∈ IC and y is a sequence of y 1,…y n over IOT or over ILV and ICEXT(x) = {y 1,..., y n } If E isand then if ∈ IEXT(IS (E)) then owl:oneOf l is a sequence of y 1,…y n over IOT x ∈ IOC 28

Restriction (Anonymous Class) If E is then IS(E) ∈ ICEXT(IS(E))=and owl:RestrictionICIORIOR ⊆ IOC If E is and ∈ IEXT(IS(E))) ∧ ∈ IEXT(IS(owl:onProperty))) then x ∈ IOR, y ∈ IOC, p ∈ IOOP, and ICEXT(x) = owl:allValuesFrom {u ∈ IOT | ∈ IEXT(p) implies v ∈ ICEXT(y) } owl:someValuesFrom {u ∈ IOT | ∃ ∈ IEXT(p) such that v ∈ ICEXT(y) } then x ∈ IOR, y ∈ IOT, p ∈ IOOP, and ICEXT(x) = owl:hasValue {u ∈ IOT | ∈ IEXT(p) } then x ∈ IOR, y is a non-negative integer, p ∈ IOOP, and ICEXT(x) = owl:minCardinality {u ∈ IOT | card({v ∈ IOT : ∈ IEXT(p)}) ≥ y } owl:maxCardinality, owl:cardinality defined similarly Note: Content on this page is simplified by omitting datatype properties 29

30. Non-equality If E is then ∈ IEXT (IS(E)) iff owl:disjointWith x,y ∈ IOC and ICEXT(x)∩ICEXT(y)={} owl:differentFromx ≠ y More: Comprehension conditions (which require the existence of appropriate OWL descriptions and data ranges ) – not covered 30

31. Conclusions RDFS Plus A scalable rule subset of OWL Full, with MT semantics Equality + Property Characteristics Has extensional semantic conditions (while RDFS has not) OWL Full Extends RDFS Plus, with MT semantics OWL Full universe = RDFS universe – rdfs:Class = owl:Class ; rdfs:Resource = owl:Thing; owl:ObjectProperty <= rdf:Property No distinction between classes, properties and individuals Next talk: OWL 2Full 31
