SPACMoDL

Semantic Processing and Auditing in Constructive Modal Description Logic (SPACMoDL)

2008 - 2014

Funded 2008 - 2011 by the German Research Council (DFG) under ME 1427/4-1.

The research project aims at investigating innovative, semantic-driven audit models that are based on formal models of data and audit process logic which are represented through ontologies and converted into a synchronous, dataflow-based execution model.

New constructive modal logics are developed for this purpose which can be used in a descriptive manner as static type systems on the one hand and for automated generation of executeable audit processes on the other hand.

The logic is based on description logics which are in widespread use in applications of the semantic web but are extended to cover a constructive notion of truth to capture the game-theoretic aspect and the uncertainty aspect of auditing procedures.

Since auditors need reliable tools to draw the right consequences the application has strong requirements on the correctness of software (certified code) so that mathematically strong methods are needed. Our target is the creation of an advanced software architecture for financial auditing which does justice to the rising requirements for flexibility, scalability, user friendliness and efficiency in this domain.
