Content
What is computational logic, how can the different logic forms and approaches support systematic practice, products and inferences? Overview of essentials and aims of (computational) logic. What flavors of logic and reasoning exist, are readily accessible, and how may they suit the systematic interests? What domains of systematic practice are particularly easy, or challenging, to represent in logic, and why? The OBO Foundry approach - origins, achievements, promise and limitations. Higher-level review of the OBO Foundry paradigm - an endorsing take. Diverse accomplishments - prospects and challenges. A more critical stance - presenting alternative KKR solutions. Logic and biodiversity data - from specimens to the Linked Open Data cloud. BCO. TDGW-RDF. iDigBio and KRR. Prospects and challenges. Concept taxonomy - logic representation of nomenclatural and taxonomic provenance. TaxMeOn. Euler. ETC. Other developments in KRR for systematics. Answer Set Programming. Synthesis - where are we, where are we going?
