| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to computer implemented methods and system for verifying hypotheses against ontologies. The methods and systems are designed to accept as inputs a set of axioms and/or assertions constituting a hypothesis, and a set of ontology axioms and/or assertions assumed to be true; determine whether the axioms and assertions constituting the hypothesis are either supported or contradicted by the axioms and assertions in the ontology, and extract the specific ontology axioms and/or assertions that either support or contradict the hypothesis. The result of these methods and of the systems implementing these methods is an indication on whether the hypothesis is supported by the ontology, contradicted by it, or neither supported nor contradicted by it, and if either supported or contradicted, the set of axioms and/or assertions from the ontology that cause the support or contradiction of the hypothesis.
