Abstract

Ontologies play a crucial role in knowledge representation and automated reasoning on the web, defining concepts and relationships within domains. However, the ontology community lacks effective tools for expressing defeasibility, while the reasoning community struggles with realistic defeasible ontologies. This research aims to bridge this gap by providing practical ontologies with defeasible features across various domains and designing a methodology for creating them. By employing a preferential approach to non-monotonic reasoning and leveraging existing Protégé plugins, the expected outcomes include defeasible ontologies for evaluating defeasible reasoners and a reusable methodology for developing such ontologies.
