'''Concepts and Foundations of Rules and Ontologies: Logic Programs, Classical Logic, and Semantic Web - II''' ... [http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/RulesReasoningLP/2013-11-21_Concepts-Foundations-II/RulesReasoningLP-s03_intro--LeoObrst-PascalHitzler_20131121.pdf intro slides]
 
This is the 3rd session of the [[RulesReasoningLP]] mini-series - a series of virtual panel sessions, and the associated online discourse, co-championed by some members of the Ontolog community who value the importance of the subject matter and would want to bring together those who are knowledgeable or interested into a dialog. The mini-series program will cover the topics that encapsulates the ontology-driven applications that will generally fall under "Ontology, Rules, and Logic Programming for Reasoning and Applications."
 
This session is the second of two sessions devoted to addressing the concepts and foundations of the technologies underlying ontology and rule reasoning, especially focused on logic programming and Semantic Web extensions. Panelists invited to share their work with us today include Dr. [[MarkusKroetzsch|Markus Kroetzsch]], Dr. [[HectorPerezUrbina]], Professor [[HassanAitKaci]] and Professor EnricoFranconi.
 
After the panelists briefings, there will be time for Q&A and an open discussion among the panel and all the participants.

* '''Dr. MarkusKroetzsch''' (Technische Universit&auml;t Dresden) - "'''Existential Rules in Ontological Modelling'''" - [http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/RulesReasoningLP/2013-11-21_Concepts-Foundations-II/Existential-Rules-in-Ontological-Modelling--MarkusKroetzsch_20131121.pdf slides]
** ''Abstract:'' We are witnessing a renaissance of rule-based approaches both in knowledge representation and in databases. Data management applications consider Datalog as a query language while tuple-generating dependencies (TGDs) are used in data integration and exchange. In ontological modelling, existential rules (a.k.a. Datalog+/-) are investigated, leading to many new rule languages of varying expressivity and complexity. In this talk, we give a brief overview of these recent developments, and we present a particular application of rules in knowledge modelling that is contrasted to traditional uses of rules in AI applications.

** ''Abstract:'' In our experience, users typically regard rules as a friendlier alternative to axioms; however, in spite of their popularity, rules remain poorly understood. In this talk, we review common concerns, questions, and difficulties from our user base regarding the use of rules for modeling ontologies. Such issues range from the semantics of rules and modeling best practices to the use of existing tools. We believe their input is valuable as it provides guidance for creating effective educational materials, directing applied research, and improving and developing tools.
 
* '''Professor [[HassanAitKaci]]''' (Universit&eacute; Claude Bernard Lyon 1) - "'''Reasoning and the Semantic Web'''" - [http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/RulesReasoningLP/2013-11-21_Concepts-Foundations-II/Reasoning-and-the-Semantic-Web--HassanAitKaci_20131121.pdf slides]
** ''Abstract:'' Arguably, what made J.A. Robinson's resolution-based reasoning (and thus Prolog-style Logic Programming) powerful is first-order term (FOT) unification. Unification defines a partial-order on the algebra of FOTs, endowing it with a lattice-structure as shown by G. Plotkin in 1970. Intuitively, a FOT may be construed as a data structure denoting the set of all its instances. Then, unifying two FOTs computes the intersection of their denotations. FOT unification seen as a constraint-solving process consists in a very efficient (linear-time) equation-solving procedure. As such, a FOT is a handy data structure that Prolog programmers use to their benefit for representing approximations of objects. Yet, FOTs can be made much more expressive when seen as Order-Sorted Featured (OSF) graphs. Nodes can be labeled with partially-ordered symbols denoting taxonomic concepts rather than just functional constructors, and subterms can be indexed by unbounded feature symbols rather than fixed-arity positions.  Logical variables then become coreference tags expressing equality constraints among feature compositions, including cyclic ones. In this way, all the nice features of FOTs are preserved (e.g., set-of-instance denotation, linear unification). As a result, logic programmers can enjoy a versatile data structure that is a natural extension of, and as efficient as, a Prolog term, with the added bonus of enabling taxonomic reasoning based on OSF graph unification. This presentation will overview and discuss the potential that reasoning using OSF graph unification opens for the Semantic Web thanks to the Constraint Logic Programming paradigm, as opposed to Description Logic tableaux-based reasoning adopted by the W3C. ... (latest version of my slides for this talk is also available [http://www.hassan-ait-kaci.net/pdf/hak-ontoforum.pdf here].)
 
* '''Professor EnricoFranconi''' (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano) - "'''The Logic of Extensional RDFS'''" - [http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/RulesReasoningLP/2013-11-21_Concepts-Foundations-II/The-Logic-of-Extensional-RDFS--EnricoFranconi_20131121.pdf slides]
** ''Abstract:'' The W3C normative version of RDF Schema (RDFS) gives non-standard (intensional) interpretations to some common notions such as classes and properties, thus departing from set-based semantics (such as the OWL semantics) and leading to an unexpected behaviour. In this work we assign the correct set-based (extensional) semantics for the RDFS vocabulary while preserving the simplicity and computational complexity of deduction of the intensional version. This result can positively impact current implementations, as reasoning in RDFS can be implemented as a simple extension to current RDFS engines.

[9:54] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @MarkusKroetzsch -- In ontological modeling of complex structures and domains,
 
a classic approach (in AI applications but not DL traditions, of course) is to model many of the
 
relatively stable complex relationships between things *as rules*. To me, it seems that removing
 
rules *as a means of representing complex relationships* from the ontological toolkit makes ontology
 
work much harder and less effective. So, to me, these views seem to overlap. Do you not agree? Or do
 
you think that the complex relationships that exist are not to be ontologically (and declaratively)
 
modeled, or should be modeled in some other way?
 
[9:57] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @MarkusKroetzsch - the above comment/question was a reaction to your slide 2; I
 
see on slide 6 that you begin to address this.
 
[9:59] [[PascalHitzler|Pascal Hitzler]]: @AmandaVizedom: I'm not Markus, of course, but let me add my own perspective
 
here: The paradigms recently seem to be converging, and in particular work done and initiated by
 
Markus is central for this convergence. Perhaps a good starting point for looking into this is

rules is something that is outside any ontology. Hopefully, this Ontolog mini-series will dispel
 
this misconception.
 
[9:59] [[SimonSpero|Simon Spero]]: If you look at some of the gene and phenotype ontologies, the force fitting into
 
DL for reactions, enzymes etc is especially noticeable
 
[10:00] [[PascalHitzler|Pascal Hitzler]]: @MichaelGruninger: I very much agree :)
 
[10:00] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: +1 for dispelling that. I'm aware of it, and am happy to acknowledge that as
 
a choice people can make in the type of ontology they work with, but it is frustrating to see people
 
re-define ontology so as to exclude much of its historical and continuing development and application!
 
[10:18] [[MarkusKroetzsch|Markus Kroetzsch]]: @MichaelGruninger: "many people [...] equate ontologies with logical
 
theories which are definable in OWL" I have not witnessed this a lot. At least the Description Logic
 
community is quite open to this (the work I mentioned was presented at DL workshop even). I would
 
not call Existential Rules a type of Description Logic, but calling them an ontology language seems fine.
 
[10:19] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: @Markus: +1
 
[10:01] [[SimonSpero|Simon Spero]]: @michaelgruninger: that's not real world controversial, let alone Toronto :-)

[10:02] [[PascalHitzler|Pascal Hitzler]]: I freely admit that I'm usually using rules when modeling OWL. Or more
 
precisely, I start with writing rules (which is easier for my brain), or some hybrid (informal)
 
rules/DL notation and then convert them to OWL.
 
[10:07] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: Pascal, when have worked in OWL, I do the same thing. Having academic logic
 
training, then beginning my work in applied ontology with 6 years working in [[CycL]], I also find it
 
much easier to my brain to come up with rules. Translation follows, though sometimes it is not
 
feasible in a given OWL/ application infrastructure and some of the knowledge available for semantic
 
capture simply gets left out. Sometimes that's OK. Sometimes it entails reuse problems down the
 
road.
 
[10:02] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @AmandaVizedom, I found this paper particularly helpful:

[10:04] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: Thanks, @Hector. Reconciliation, hmmm. :-)
 
[10:06] [[PascalHitzler|Pascal Hitzler]]: Boris' paper is a landmark. There's some work tightening the integration
 
which follows up on this, e.g. Matthias Knorr, [[PascalHitzler|Pascal Hitzler]], Frederick Maier, Reconciling OWL and

[10:02] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: ok, thanx
 
[10:06] [[MichaelGruninger|Michael Gr&uuml;ninger]]: @MarkusKroetzsch: Are the rules used in the chemistry example on slide 12
 
available online?
 
[10:08] [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: == [[HectorPerezUrbina]] presenting ...
 
[10:08] [[MarkusKroetzsch|Markus Kroetzsch]] is trying to catch up with the chat now ...
 
[10:09] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @MarkusKroetzsch: By no tools / libraries, did you mean no *open source*
 
tools libraries? I agree with the latter but not the former, obviously.
 
[10:16] [[MarkusKroetzsch|Markus Kroetzsch]]: @AmandaVizedom: I mainly meant that the rule-related tools/libraries world
 
is quite fragmented. There is RIF, which I am not aware of libraries for. Almost all reasoners that
 
can handle Datalog and its extensions are from the ASP and LP world, using some (more or less
 
uniform) Prolog-style syntax, which I don't know how to specify datatypes and URI-based identifiers
 
in. The ontology world has SWRL but the tools that support this are AFAIK not happy with some 80k
 
rules as in my example. And LP tools do not support SWRL or RIF syntax.
 
[10:10] [[PascalHitzler|Pascal Hitzler]]: @AmandaVizedom: For me, the cases where we're *not* able to make the
 
transformation into OWL, are particularly interesting (as a researcher). They point towards
 
limitations of the OWL standard which are worthwhile to work on in attempts to overcome them :)
 
[10:11] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @Pascal: I agree! I also think that research to identify the patterns of
 
these cases would be both interesting and valuable. The value I'm thinking of is particularly in the
 
area of guidance for choosing ontology types for particular uses.
 
[10:10] anonymous morphed into [[RyanHohimer|Ryan Hohimer]]
 
[10:11] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: I guess that the real challenge with rules as an ontology language is their
 
integration with more classical FOL-based ontology languages (such as OWL and stuff). Obvious
 
mismatches, as already noticed, are closed vs open world assumption, standard/unique name
 
assumption, active domains, etc.
 
[10:12] [[AliHashemi|Ali Hashemi]]: Is this non-standard language. Or OWL-centric thinking? Axioms don't have
 
variables? I guess it's a very specific notion of axiom?
 
[10:13] [[MichaelGruninger|Michael Gr&uuml;ninger]]: @EnricoFranconi: You comment implies that you are assuming that rules are
 
necessarily nonmonotonic. One can also consider rules to simply be a syntactic restriction with a
 
monotonic semantics.
 
[10:13] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @EnricoFranconi: Do you mean rules in a particular syntax? I ask because
 
classical and current ontology languages that are based on FOL or HOL of course have rule
 
representation (and use) as an integral part of them.
 
[10:14] [[HaroldBoley|Harold Boley]]: RE Slide 4: SWRL can also be serialized in [[RuleML/XML]] (rather than in RDF/XML).
 
[10:15] [[HaroldBoley|Harold Boley]]: http://www.w3.org/Submission/SWRL/#5.1
 
[11:02] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @Harold, I've just seen your comments; thank you very much for your pointers.
 
[10:15] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: @Hector: why are you ignoring the W3C standard RIF syntax?
 
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/Primer
 
[10:17] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: Regarding Open / Closed World -- it's also worth noting that it is not
 
necessary that a *language* make an open/closed world commitment. IMHO, this is more properly
 
something that characterizes reasoning -- an inference parameter. And it can be treated that way, by
 
supporting explicit declaration: either in an ontology module, stating that it should be interpreted
 
with OW or CW, or in an application or particular query.
 
[10:18] [[HassanAitKaci]]: Good point Amanda. But which would the default be?
 
[10:18] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: @AmandaVizedom: Open / Closed World assumption regards the semantics of the
 
data! The different languages (and their reasoners) that operate on the data have to respect their
 
meaning, and adopt the right assumption.
 
[10:24] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @EnricoFranconi: Some models made such assumptions and some don't. I
 
absolutely agree that when they do, it needs to be explicit. That is why I say that it is important
 
to be able to make explicit that a particular ontology/module (or even rule) has one or the other
 
assumption as part of its semantics.
 
[10:27] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: I insist that CWA/OWA (Closed World Assumption / Open World Assumption) is a
 
property of your data: either we know all of your children or only the ones I'm certain about. I can
 
not use an OWA reasoner on top of some data which states complete knowledge about children, say. Or
 
I can not use a CWA reasoner if the data I have is incomplete. We had an extensive discussion on
 
this at last year ISWC: Peter F. Patel-Schneider and Enrico Franconi. Ontology constraints in
 
incomplete and complete data. In ISWC 2012 - 11th International Semantic Web Conference, volume 7649
 
of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, pages 444459. Springer-Verlag, 2012.
 
[10:20] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @MarkusKroetzsch: Very true in the OSS and for standard languages. This is
 
IMHO a critical problem. The tools, and considerable integrated support, exist in proprietary
 
software and languages. We need them in the open standard-based world, too.
 
[10:21] [[ConradBock|Conrad Bock]]: Maybe tools could let users know when they go outside profiles as they enter rules.
 
[10:22] [[MarkusKroetzsch|Markus Kroetzsch]]: @AmandaVizedom: Are there specific closed tools and standards you are
 
thinking about? I recall how the RIF Working Group decided to ignore the ISO Prolog standard because
 
most group members had no access to this closed standard. But many Prolog tools are free.
 
[10:27] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @Markus: [[CycL]] / the Cyc system have the most comprehensive support for all of
 
this that I have worked with. However, I've also worked with a number of organizations that have
 
developed their own KR language and tools, for internal use, that have some subset of these thing
 
that fit what they need for their application type(s) and typical domain problem.
 
[10:22] [[SimonSpero|Simon Spero]]: @[[HassanAitKaci]]: CWA/OWA in Cyc is configurable on a per predicate basis, with
 
NAF (negation as failure) settable on per query basis with default of off
 
[10:23] [[HassanAitKaci]]: @SimonSpero - good for Cyc then ...
 
[10:31] [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: == [[HassanAitKaci]] presenting ...
 
[10:31] [[HaroldBoley|Harold Boley]]: The relational SWRL Built-Ins were complemented by the functional RIF
 
Built-Ins.
 
[10:31] [[HaroldBoley|Harold Boley]]: http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-dtb/
 
[10:32] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @EnricoFranconi: In domains in which the data are almost always incomplete,
 
it is quite common to want to reason with that unknownness explicit in some contexts and for other
 
purposes to reason as if (some of) the data were complete, to explore hypotheses and possibilities.
 
Again, why do you think that when it is a property of the data, it cannot be simply stated and
 
reasoned on appropriately? Why make that a fixed feature of a language or reasoner instead?
 
[10:35] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @Amanda, suppose you want to enforce that every instance of the class
 
Employee in your ontology has to have a SSN; under OWA, we couldn't enforce this. We'd have to
 
resort to CWA to be able to find this kind of violation. However, on the other hand, I would still
 
want to infer (under open world) that all employees are people.
 
[10:35] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: As Enrico says, whether you want to use OWA or CWA, depends on the nature
 
of your data, regardless of the specific formalism you're using to model it
 
[10:36] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: Well, what I'm saying is that you may want to consider your *data* open or
 
closed - the choice is up to you . BUT you should never use different assumptions at the same time
 
over the same set of data.
 
[10:36] [[MarkusKroetzsch|Markus Kroetzsch]]: @[[HectorPerezUrbina]]: ... and on the context (the same data might be OWA when
 
viewed as an ontology and CWA when viewed as a list of axioms that I want to search through)
 
[10:36] [[MarkusKroetzsch|Markus Kroetzsch]]: @AmandaVizedom: Can you recommend any references on the CWA/OWA combination
 
that you refer to?
 
[10:37] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: oh, I disagree. Using the previous example, you could first use OWA to
 
infer that Hector is an Employee, and then CWA to determine that, since Hector doesn't have a SSN,
 
the ontology is invalid.
 
[10:37] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @Hector, of the data *and* of the reasoning you want to do, no? Again, I'm
 
not arguing that the assumptions should be ignored; I'm arguing that they should be explicitly
 
statable and the reasoners should be able to understand that and use it.
 
[10:37] [[SimonSpero|Simon Spero]]: @EnricoFranconi: agree if it's just assumptions that you're talking about - if
 
an epistemic axiom is asserted, then it stops being an assumption
 
[10:38] [[SimonSpero|Simon Spero]]: Driveby coverage in 12.8 of

[10:39] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @Hector: Your constraint-violation case is an excellent example of a common
 
use case that comes up with OWL ontologies. when you are looking for (potential) violations, you may
 
want to temporarily use CWA, rather than use OWA and infer missing statements.
 
[10:40] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @Amanda, certainly. In Stardog, for example, we allow to validate
 
integrity constraints (under CWA) and usual OWL inference (under OWA), but it is necessary for the
 
user to clearly specify which things are to be taken under which semantics.
 
[10:39] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: Okay, I need to stop typing and pay attention to Hassan for a bit!
 
[10:40] [[PascalHitzler|Pascal Hitzler]]: Regarding the open/closed world discussion: What is really needed are
 
languages which combine open world and closed world features, in such a way that you can decide
 
what's supposed to be closed and what's supposed to be open. The keyword sometimes used is "local
 
closed world". There's quite a bit of work under way how to do this (see e.g. the paper by Motik
 
referenced above), but the quest is not yet conclusive, in particular in practical terms.
 
[10:40] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @PascalHitzler: Exactly!
 
[10:41] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @Hector: Excellent. :-)
 
[10:41] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @Amanda, you might find this interesting: http://docs.stardog.com/icv/
 
[10:42] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: Thanks Hector, I'll check it out.
 
[10:45] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: Again, in my paper I argue why epistemic axioms can be very misleading. In
 
your simple example with SSN, this approach may work. But since you expect two different beahviours
 
from your data stemming form conflicting assumptions, there will always be counterexamples where
 
your get unexpected inferences.
 
[10:46] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: @Hector: really look at our paper on why you shouldn't validate integrity
 
constraints with a different semantics from the underlying ontology language.
 
[10:46] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @Enrico, yes, it helps that we consider relatively unexpressive logics
 
(i.e., OWL profiles)
 
[10:47] [[MarkusKroetzsch|Markus Kroetzsch]]: +1 to epistemic axioms being confusing
 
[10:47] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: :-)
 
[10:47] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: Mmhh, I guess I can build some nasty counterexamples with dl-lite as well,
 
but I have to think about it.
 
[10:48] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @Enrico, will do. I would say, however, that we are yet to see these
 
nasty examples in practice.
 
[10:48] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: OK.
 
[10:48] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @EnricoFranconi: Do you have a link to your paper? I would like to understand
 
why you think that support for making assumptions explicit is inferior to being restricted to one of
 
the assumptions. ... ref. below - [11:13] [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]]: My paper on "Ontology constraints in
 
incomplete and complete data" can be found at http://iswc2012.semanticweb.org/sites/default/files/76490433.pdf
 
[10:51] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: Epistemic axioms may be confusing, but IMHO the better way of addressing this
 
is to make clear and explicit which axioms are epistemic and what they apply to (even if as
 
metadata). Otherwise, users and modelers tend to *make* epistemic assumptions anyway, without making
 
the explicit, and sometimes slide between epistemic assumptions within the same model or set of
 
models, without being able to indicate this. This causes problems for model accuracy, usability,
 
evaluation, quality control / truth maintenance (as the model evolves), and reuse.
 
[10:49] [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: == [[EnricoFranconi|Enrico Franconi]] presenting ...
 
[10:51] [[SimonSpero|Simon Spero]]: Hector: If every employee has a known ssn and hector does not have a known ssn
 
then hector is not an employee
 
[10:52] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @Simon, that's under OWA
 
{{{
[10:54] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: Consider the ontology O = {1. <nowiki>Employee subClassOf hasSSN some SSN,</nowiki> 2.
Hector a Employee} . Under OWA, we would infer the existence of an anonymous individual, instance of
SSN, related to Hector via hasSSN.
}}}
 
[10:54] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: However, sometimes, we don't want this behavior; instead, we want the
 
reasoner to let us know that our data is invalid (because every employee must have a SSN)
 
[10:55] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: We can accomplish this by interpreting axiom 2 in O under CWA.
 
[10:55] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: sorry, axiom 1.
 
[10:58] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @Hector: yes, and more: we may want to validate/ declare that invalid. Or, we
 
may want to identify gaps in our knowledge. Or, in more sophisticated reasoning, analyze our model
 
to identify *patterns* of missing information. The known unknowns can be very important in some applications!
 
[11:05] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @Amanda, yes. In practice, people produce some RDF out of an ETL process,
 
and they need to check whether certain integrity constraints (a la DB) hold.
 
[10:59] [[SimonSpero|Simon Spero]]: Hector: But you leave out the axiom hasSSN(X) -> K[hasSSN(X)]
 
[11:00] [[MikeBennett|Mike Bennett]]: OWA and CWA: it seems to me that the use case of determining whether some data
 
is valid (per @Hector above), and the use case whereby we want to reason over assertions about real
 
things in the world (not data) are two very different requirements. My hunch would be that to talk
 
about data rather than actual things, one must need the CWA?
 
[11:03] [[HectorPerezUrbina]]: @Simon, yes, we want to stay within OWL and SWRL
 
[11:03] [[HassanAitKaci]]: @EnricoFranconi: This is a CWA construction! :-)
 
[10:57] [[AlanRector|Alan Rector]]: [ref. slide#5] Shouldn't be that some ice cream is food, rather than that all
 
ice cream is food/ice cream is subset of food?
 
[10:58] [[PascalHitzler|Pascal Hitzler]]: @Alan, I believe in the example, ice cream is an individual, while food is a class?
 
[11:00] [[FrancescaQuattri|Francesca Quattri]]: @EnricoFranconi: Beth Levin's work could provide a great deal of

[11:11] [[AmandaVizedom|Amanda Vizedom]]: @Hector, this is one type of case. But I am also thinking of another case in
 
which a user is using an ontological KB for situation awareness, risk analysis, or similar. In these
 
cases, while much of the use of the model involves reasoning about the modeled things (or digesting
 
views of a situation that are based on model), it can be an essential part of this use to also
 
(manually or automatically in side processes) identify the known unknowns and spot patterns in them.
 
This can be critical.

[11:25] [[MarkusKroetzsch|Markus Kroetzsch]]: Sorry, I got distracted by my phone call. To clarify: in the context of

arbitrarily complex computations/problems.)
