Dear All, As some of you know I have been doing some work on integrating DL ontologies and Argumentation. Argumentation is a (reasonably new) approach to handling conflicting defeasible inferences, and this work extends an existing proposal by adding ontological information. There is now a (pre-print) paper for this year's ICTAI conference available at http://acl.icnet.uk/~mw/WilliamsHunterICTAI07.pdf for those interested, and there will be a poster from last month's Cancer Informatics Conference as soon as I upload it. There is also a (very) rough prototype implementation available at http://acl.icnet.uk/~mw/swafi0.1.zip or http://acl.icnet.uk/~mw/swafi0.1.jar. The former is the whole thing plus libs (and so is >40 Mb) while the jar is just my work. It uses the Jena rule engine and Pellet to turn defeasible rule into arguments, and then calculates conflict between them based on the information in the ontology. Thanks a lot for all the help, advice and wonderful tools, and let me know if you're interested/ have questions/ etc. Matt
