McGuinness. ``Ontological Issues for Knowledge-Enhanced Search''. In the Proceedings of Formal Ontology in Information Systems, June 1998. Also in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications, IOS-Press, Washington, DC, 1998. http://www.research.att.com/~dlm/papers/fois98-abstract.html > R13. Ontology querying not positive about this but questions of structure like returning subclasses, superclasses, disjoint classes, etc from a class are important. that fits in my idea of queries of an ontology > R14. Expressiveness S > R15. Proof checking U i would rename this explainable. I think it is critical for a language to be explainable. explanations might be proofs (that are checkable) but they might also be some other justification of information. > R16. Trust U -- Deborah L.
