Question 4

Using the object-attribute-value representation, axiomatize the following knowledge about a user's preference for news articles using definite clauses (no negation as failure). The user can skip or read an article, and each article is either long or short, either a new thread or a follow-up, the author of the news article is either known or unknown to the user, and the article is either read at home or at work.
The user skips long articles and short articles that are a follow-ups where the author is unknown. They read short articles whose thread is new or whose author is known.
There was a typo in the original version. The last word should be "known" (as above).

Note that this description covers all cases for articles.
