- Abstract
- This paper supplies a theoretical approach on implementing inference rules in the Topic Maps model. Topic Maps is an ISO standard that allows for the modeling and representation of knowledge in an interchangeable form, that can be extended by inference rules. These rules specify conditions for inferrable facts. Any implementation requires a syntax for storage in a file, a storage model and method for processing and a system to keep track of changes in the inferred facts. The most flexible and optimisable storage model is a controlled cache, giving options for processing. Keeping track of changes is done by listeners. One of the most powerful applications of inference rules in Topic Maps is interoperability. By mapping ontologies to each other using inference rules as converter, it is possible to exchange extendable knowledge. Any implementation must choose methods and options optimized for the system it runs on, with the facilities available. Further research is required to analyze optimization problems between options.
