Progress in Automating Higher-Order Ontology Reasoning

11 pagesPublished: May 16, 2012

Abstract

We report on the application of higher-order automated theorem proving in ontology reasoning. Concretely, we have integrated the Sigma knowledge engineering environment and the Suggested Upper-Level Ontology SUMO with the higher-order theorem prover LEO-II. The basis for this integration is a translation from SUMO representations into the new typed higher-order form representation language TPTP THF. We illustrate the benefits of our integration with examples, report on experiments and analyze open challenges.

Keyphrases: application in ontology reasoning, boolean extensionality and modalities, higher order theorem proving
