Evolution of Ontology Potential for Generation of Rules

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential of OWL (Web Ontology Language) ontologies for generation of rules. It is assumed that OWL ontology expressions can serve as a material for rule extraction. It is necessary for Semantic Web Expert System development and it is expected that such Semantic Web Expert System (SWES) will be able to process ontologies from the Web with the purpose to supplement or even to develop its knowledge base. Available publications show that the problem of rule extraction from ontologies is not investigated deeply enough
