Abstract

Natural logics are formal logics characterized by expressions that bear a resemblance to simplified natural language sentences. The inherent readability of natural logics renders them suitable also for large knowledge bases. Within the realm of natural logics, the rules of logical proof are applicable directly to the sentences constructed using this framework. This direct application ensures explainability of query inferences. In the paper we describe a specific natural logic named NaturaLog, suited for ontology-structured knowledge bases. We outline how NaturaLog can be effectively implemented into a database system to facilitate deductive querying. The primary focus of this paper lies in exploring various query functionalities and elucidating methods to achieve these capabilities, also when dealing with large-scale knowledge bases.
