Abstract

The ability to perform complex reasoning over data streams has recently become an important area of research in the Semantic Web community. Most of SPARQL-inspired engines have limitations in capturing sophisticated user requirements and dealing with complex reasoning tasks. To address these challenges, we propose and implement C-ASP, a reasoning system based on the Answer Set Programming (ASP) system Clingo and extended to handle continuous reasoning requests over RDF streams. We provide the syntax of the C-ASP language, as well as a set of examples in order to illustrate its expressive power. In addition, we present preliminary experimental results showing C-ASP performances.

This research is partially funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) under grant No. SFI/12/RC/2289 and SFI/16/RC/3918.

    Due to space limitation, we omit the PrefixClause of the following prefixes from the reasoning request: #prefix tl : \(\langle \)http://travel.org/\(\rangle \); #prefix ht : \(\langle \)http://hotel.org/\(\rangle \); #prefix ct : \(\langle \)http://city.org/\(\rangle \); #prefix rdf : \(\langle \)http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\(\rangle \); #prefix ex : \(\langle \)http://example.org/\(\rangle \);.
