Re: new topic: Should Closed World Assumption(CWA) and Open World Assumption(OWA) be integrated?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone bother to articulate a full taxonomy? Eg a logic which defaults to OWA but let's you override it in particular situations vs the reverse? (An example perhaps would be Datalog with naf and a hex predicate to OWL.). I'm not sure what value "local" brings, esp if we consider NAF or epistemic operators.
