Embedding the HEART Rule Engine into a Semantic Wiki

摘要

Semantic wikis provide a flexible solution for collaborative knowledge engineering. The reasoning capabilities of most of the semantic wiki systems are limited to lightweight reasoning, e.g. with the use of RDF. Number of systems try to integrate strong reasoning with rules. Since most of the regular rule engines are hard to integrate, custom solutions are needed. In the paper a practical approach for embedding a flexible rule engine called HeaRT into a semantic wiki is given. HeaRT supports several inference modes, as well as rule base structuring, which makes it particularly suitable for a wiki.
