[PlanetKR] Next Description Logic Seminar: Sebastian Rudolph, on January 9

[Quentin Maniere]

Dear DL and KR Community Members,

we are happy to announce that the next Description Logic Seminar will  
take place on JANUARY 9, 2026, AT 2PM via Zoom.
Our next speaker is SEBASTIAN RUDOLPH from TU DRESDEN and the topic of  
the talk is "MULTIPERSPECTIVE REASONING IN KR FORMALISMS VIA  
STANDPOINT LOGIC".

/Abstract:/
The importance of taking individual, potentially conflicting  
perspectives into account when dealing with knowledge has been widely  
recognised. Many existing knowledge management approaches fully merge  
knowledge perspectives, which may require weakening in order to  
maintain consistency; others represent the distinct views in an  
entirely detached way. This talk presents an alternative, referred to  
as Standpoint Logic, a simple, yet versatile multi-modal logic  
“add-on” for existing logical languages – including Description Logics  
– intended for the integrated representation of domain knowledge  
relative to diverse standpoints, which can be hierarchically  
organised, combined, and put in relation with each other. My talk will  
introduce the general logical framework of Standpoint Logic and  
discuss variations which differ in expressivity and computational  
complexity of automated reasoning.
