Knowledge Representation of Highly Dynamic Ontologies Using Defeasible Logic

Description logic gives us the ability of reasoning with acceptable computational complexity with retaining the power of expressiveness. The power of description logic can be accompanied by the defeasible logic to manage non-monotonic reasoning. In some domains, we need flexible reasoning and knowledge representation to deal the dynamicity of such domains. In this paper, we present a DL representation for a small domain that describes the connections between different entities in a university publication system to show how could we deal with changeability in domain rules. An automated support can be provided on the basis of defeasible logical rules to represent the typicality in the knowledge base and to solve the conflicts that might happen
