Living with OWL

by Bijan Parsia

In a prior post, I tried to articulate some of the parameters of when OWL is a good fit for an application. Browsing around, I re-stumbled upon this old paper
Living with CLASSIC: When and How to Use a KL-ONE-Like Language. OWL is, indeed, a KL-ONE-like language and a lot of the points in this paper are still applicable.

(Classic was a funky language! Forward chaining rules, procedural attachments (for “test”), rather tight integration with a programming language, weirdly shaped DL, etc.)

I’ve been thinking about empathy and symmetry arguments in moral theory. Pluralism with regard to fundamental moral issues is really hard. But torture is still wrong! (Aggressive war, too, y’know.)

    What is “aggressive war”? Is there such a thing as “nonaggressive war”? I thought all wars were aggressive. :-)

    Cold war?

    Anyway, preemptive war is surely less aggressive than non-preemptive war. :)
