Towards Automated Integrity Constraints Modelling and Validation - A Survey and Approach

Sandra Bergner

2015

Abstract

Semantic web techniques based on ontologies are a possible means for modelling and validating complex, safety-critical products like airplanes or automobiles. For validation purposes, checks based on the Open World Assumption (OWA) as well as checks based on the Closed World Assumption (CWA) are both valuable. Based on a survey of existing semantic-based approaches, we present a novel approach that provides hybrid OWA/CWA checks and thereby reduces the maintenance burden for managing two different kinds of checks.
