Extended SWRL for commercial-scale ontology-centric applications
Michel Vanden Bossche, Maxime Van Assche, Carlos Noguera

Semantic web technologies allow a clear separation between the Business ‘what’ and the IT ‘how’. This is only achieved by using SWRL in addition to OWL and RDF, thereby formalizing the business logic declaratively. SWRL needs to be extended with existentials, aggregates and NAF to tackle real-world problems. This extended SWRL must leverage a syntax which is easily understood by business experts. High-performance reasoners exploiting parallelism are required to deliver a high speed of execution. By using these principles, a true continuum is established between the logic-based business specification and the technical construction relying on imperative languages used by all. This is achieved by the ontology-centric platform ODASE™, as proven by realworld applications in production. Read our whitepaper.
