"Knowledge Representation Tools for Electronic Commerce"
Abstract: The graft of Semantic Annotation into Electronic Commerce brings new
opportunities for the application of Knowledge Representation techniques
originally devised for Knowledge Bases. In this talk, I tackle two phases
of an Electronic Commerce transaction, namely matchmaking and negotiation,
and argue that --- in addition to standard Deductive Reasoning, and
Decision Theory --- some
non-standard forms of reasoning are present when accomplishing
matchmaking and negotiation: Abduction, Belief Revision,
Preference-based reasoning. However, the use of these forms of reasoning
is not the same as their use in Knowledge Bases. I point out the changes
that are needed, and sketch open problems and possible lines of research.
