Research Type Experimental An evaluation of a prototype implementation shows that the method achieves a significant speed-up and notably better success rates than the LETHE tool which performs deductive forgetting for ALC-ontologies. Compared to FAME, a semantic forgetting tool for ALCOIH-ontologies, better success rates are attained.

Pseudocode Yes The calculus for eliminating a concept name from a set N of clauses includes three rules: (i) two purify rules, and (ii) one combination rule. Each rule is applicable to specific cases. The combination rule... shown in Figure 2.
Open Source Code Yes An executable version of the prototype, together with the test datasets, can be downloaded for review and use via http: //www.cs.man.ac.uk/ schmidt/publications/aaai20/.
Open Datasets Yes The corpus for the evaluation was based on a snapshot of the NCBO Bio Portal repository taken in March 2017 (Matentzoglu and Parsia 2017), containing 396 ontologies.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes experimental settings like 'forgetting 10%, 40% and 70% of the concept and role names from the signature of each ontology' and 'The names to be forgotten were randomly chosen.', but it does not specify explicit train/validation/test splits for the ontologies or dataset used.
Hardware Specification Yes The experiments were run on a desktop computer with an Intel Core i7-4790 processor, four cores running at up to 3.60 GHz, and 8 GB of DDR3-1600 MHz RAM.
Software Dependencies No The paper states 'we implemented a prototype of the method in Java using the OWL API.' but does not provide specific version numbers for Java or the OWL API.
Experiment Setup Yes The prototype was evaluated for three settings: forgetting 10%, 40% and 70% of the concept and role names from the signature of each ontology. The names to be forgotten were randomly chosen. The experiments were run on a desktop computer... A timeout of 15 minutes was used on each run.
