OWL universal quantification -

-

i half way reading owl2 primer , having problem understanding universal quantification

the example given is

equivalentclasses(     :happyperson      objectallvaluesfrom( :haschild :happyperson ) )

it says happy person if children happy persons. if john doe has no children can instance of happyperson? parent?

i find part confusing, says:

hence, our above statement, every childless person qualified happy.

but wouldn't violate objectallvaluesfrom() constructor?

i think primer quite job @ explaining this, particularly following:

natural language indicators usage of universal quantification words “only,” “exclusively,” or “nothing but.”

to simplify bit further, consider expression you've given:

happyperson ≡ ∀ haschild . happyperson

this says happyperson only has children happyperson (are happy). logically, says nothing existence of instances of happy children. serves universal constraint on children may exist (note includes instances of happyperson don't have children).

compare existential quantifier, exists (∃):

happyperson ≡ ∃ haschild . happyperson

this says happyperson has at least one child happyperson. in constrast (∀), expression implies existence of happy child every instance of happyperson.

the answer, albeit unintuitive, lies in interpretation/semantics of objectallvaluesfrom owl construct in first-order logic (actually, description logic). fundamentally, objectallvaluesfrom construct relates logical universal quantifier (∀), , objectsomevaluesfrom construct relates logical existential quantifier (∃).

does of algorithm extracts contents webpage? instapaper ? there 2 steps instapaper does: find main content block on page (excluding headers, footers, menus etc) from content block extract , format text to find content block (typically html block element, div containing key page text content) instapaper uses algorithm 1 used readability . can @ source of readability.js see what's going on, @ core tries find area on page highest text/link ratio, although has other simple scoring metrics (e.g. off top of head, things ratio of text commas, para elements etc) go heuristics. once have identified root node element, relevant content, you'll need format it, if want can pull node element containing text out of source document , insert yours, in reality you'll want remove existing styles , apply own, standard , feel. if want output nice text-only can use jericho's renderer . update1 : should mention else instapaper - follow 'pagination' links (...
