Paraconsistent Reasoning in Ontopedia

I did a short presentation about paraconsistent reasoning in Ontopedia on TMRA 2009.

Summary:

  • Paraconsistent reasoning allows to collect assertions from
    various sources and “safely” infer new information
  • Paraconsistent reasoning works well together with constraint
    languages (such as TMCL)
  • Paraconsistent reasoning supports evolutionary approach to
    building large assertion systems
  • We do not need to “fix all errors” before we can reason
