Is the SW AI on the Web?
And what about AI?


  • AI requires much more complicated logical inferences
  • There are lots of things RDF/OWL cannot express, eg:
    • the “uncle” relationship:
    • ∀x,z: ((∃y: (y parent x) ∧ (y brother z)) ⇒ (z uncle x))
    • temporal and spatial reasoning
    • fuzzy logic
    • …
  • AI can be built by using OWL and many other things…
  • … but that is true for about everyting in IT ;-)
