A Task-Centric Ontology and Deterministic Domain Rules as a Verifiable Core for AI-Assisted Chemistry Problem Solving

arXiv:2608.26164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can interpret natural-language chemistry questions, but their internal reasoning is difficult to inspect, constrain, and validate. This paper presents ChemOntoRule, a proof-of-concept symbolic core for AI-assisted school-level chemistry problem solving. The central design choice is task-centric ontology engineering: the ontology is constructed around the concepts, properties, relations, and executable procedures required by a defined collection of chemistry problems, rather than as a universal representation of chemistry. The implemented artifact combines a lightweight ontology serialized in JSON and RDF/Turtle with determ
