Incremental reasoning under data source availability constraints

摘要

A method executed by a computer system for generating a high level inferred conclusion from raw data collected from a plurality of data sources by application of an ontology reasoning system, the method comprising the steps of determining availability of intermediate results received from a plurality of shallow reasoners, the intermediate results generated by the plurality of shallow reasoners based on the plurality of data sources; propagating the intermediate results to nodes of an ontology graph; executing incremental ontology reasoning over the ontology graph to generate inferred conclusions; and persisting inferred conclusions in an ontology database.
