Where is the open world assumption appropriate?

  • A.Where the knowledge base is known to be incomplete
  • B.Where the domain contains an infinite number of objects
  • C.Where the reasoning must be performed very quickly
  • D.Where the facts change frequently over time

Answer: A

On the web, or in a medical record, the absence of a statement means nothing has been recorded rather than that it is false, so no negative conclusion may be drawn. Description logics adopt this assumption for that reason. Infinite domains, speed and volatility are separate considerations. Choosing the assumption that matches how the knowledge was actually collected, rather than the one that makes reasoning convenient, is essential if the conclusions are to be trusted.
