Position Paper: Paraconsistent Reasoning for the Semantic Web.
Abstract
Due to the Semantic Web.s decentralised and distributed
management, contradictory information is and will remain
frequent. However, classical reasoning systems fail to work properly in
the presence of inconsistencies, because they implicitly or explicitly
assume the ex contradictione quod libet (ECQL) principle stating that
anything follows from contradictory premises. Paraconsistent reasoning
challenges this ECQL principle. Stressing practical cases of reasoning on
the Web, this position paper first argues that paraconsistent reasoning is
likely to become a key issue for successful deployment of the Semantic
Web. Then, it briefly introduces the main approaches to date to
paraconsistent reasoning.
