Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: The visualization has proven to be very useful for exploring structures in different application domains. However, there is no any method for visualizing Description Logic formulas, which are widely used in different semantic and artificial intelligence techniques. This paper gives a method for visualization of Description Logic formulas by combining C.S. Pierce's existential graphs with KL-ONE knowledge representation system. In addition, we present a general view of Description Logic, existential graphs, KL-ONE and extended examples of visualization Description Logic formulas with the proposed method

KEYWORDS: Description Logics, existential graph, visualization, KL-ONE
