Abstract

In this work we present the design and implementation of a multi-agent environment for serving proof explanations in the Semantic Web. The system allows users or agents to issue queries, on a given RDF& rules knowledge base and automatically produces proof explanations for answers produced by a popular programming system (JENA), by interpreting the output from the proof's trace and converting it into a meaningful representation. It also supports an XML representation (a R2ML language extension) for agent communication, which is a common scenario in the Semantic Web. The system in essence implements a proof layer for rules on the Semantic Web empowering trust between agents and users.
