OWL DL Vs. OWL Flight: Conceptual Modeling and Reasoning for the Semantic Web

Overview The Semantic Web languages RDFS and OWL have been around for some time now. However, the presence of these languages has not brought the breakthrough of the Semantic Web the creators of the languages had hoped for. OWL has a number of problems in the area of interoperability and usability in the context of many practical application scenarios, which impede the connection to the Software Engineering and Database communities. This paper presents OWL Flight, which is loosely based on OWL, but the semantics is grounded in Logic Programming rather than Description Logics, and it borrows the constraint-based modeling style common in databases.
