I would suggest that traditional formal deduction, resolution etc, though powerful within a well-defined system are only likely to be of localised utility in such a heterogeneous environment as the web. What I think stands a chance of being really useful are some of the techniques from the fuzzy and neural net fields, some of which are already accepted as practicable for data mining (e.g. Bayesian inference). The same things get described differently in different contexts and by different describers, but patterns can be matched. It's an inexact world, we need inexact reasoning.
