Abstract

This paper deals with mining the logical layer of the Semantic Web. Our approach adopts the hybrid system \(\mathcal{AL}\)-log as a knowledge representation and reasoning framework and Inductive Logic Programming as a methodological apparatus. We illustrate the approach by means of examples taken from a case study of frequent pattern discovery in data of the on-line CIA World Fact Book.
