Abstract

In this paper we focus on some of the most recent advancements in \(\mathcal I\)-DLV, the new intelligent grounder of DLV; the system has been endowed with means aimed at easing the interoperability and integration with external systems and accommodating external source of computation and value invention within ASP programs. In particular, we describe here the support for external computations via explicit calls to Python scripts, and tools for the interoperability with both relational and graph databases.
