Abstract

Natural logics are logics that take form of stylized natural language sentences within a selected fragment of natural language. Natural Logics are at the same time formal logics with a well-defined syntax and semantics. Therefore, natural logics may be advanced as knowledge base logics enhancing explainability of query answers. This paper is concerned with a natural logic, NaturaLog, having been proposed as a deductive knowledge base language. The paper briefly reviews and brings together in compact form the main points in our previously but separately published design proposals, systems functionalities and implementation principles.
