The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential of OWL (Web Ontology Language) ontologies for generation of rules. It is assumed that OWL ontology expressions can serve as a material for rule extraction. It is necessary for Semantic Web Expert System development and it is expected that such Semantic Web Expert System (SWES) will be able to process ontologies from the Web with the purpose to supplement or even to develop its knowledge base. Available publications show that the problem of rule extraction from ontologies is not investigated deeply enough.
-The paper presents a conception of the Semantic Web Expert System which is the logical continuation of the expert system development. The Semantic Web Expert System emerges as the result of evolution of expert system concept and it means expert system moving toward the Web and using new Semantic Web technologies. The proposed conception of the Semantic Web Expert System promises to have new useful features that distinguish it from other types of expert systems.
