Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of applying a user-defined inference rule in an ontology-based knowledge base management system including a description logic inference engine, the method comprising: creating a search statement of a knowledge base search language from the user-defined inference rule; storing the created search statement of the knowledge base search language based on the user-defined inference rule; determining whether or not to execute the stored search statement of the knowledge base search language based on the user-defined inference rule; executing the stored search statement of the knowledge base search language based on the user-defined inference rule by using a function of searching a knowledge base when the result of determination is to execute the stored search statement of the knowledge base search language based on the user-defined inference rule; and including an execution result in a knowledge base by matching a new statement corresponding to an inference result to the search statement of the knowledge base search language and storing a matching result.
