摘要翻译：
我们定义了一个推理系统来捕获基于因果陈述的解释，使用IS-A层次结构形式的本体。我们首先引入一种简单的逻辑语言，它使表达一个事实引起另一个事实，一个事实解释另一个事实成为可能。我们提出了一组从因果陈述到解释陈述的形式化推理模式。我们引入了一个基本的本体，它在保持与命题推理接近的同时，给系统提供了更大的表达能力。我们提供了一个推理系统，它首先在纯命题框架中捕获所讨论的模式，然后在datalog（有限谓词）框架中捕获模式。

英文摘要：
  We define an inference system to capture explanations based on causal statements, using an ontology in the form of an IS-A hierarchy. We first introduce a simple logical language which makes it possible to express that a fact causes another fact and that a fact explains another fact. We present a set of formal inference patterns from causal statements to explanation statements. We introduce an elementary ontology which gives greater expressiveness to the system while staying close to propositional reasoning. We provide an inference system that captures the patterns discussed, firstly in a purely propositional framework, then in a datalog (limited predicate) framework.
