The adjective epistematic come from Greek episteme (knowledge) and means deductive; therefore epistematic reasoning is usually meant as opposed to inductive reasoning. The noun epistematics adds to this meaning the analogy with informatics: while informatics points out the automatic processing of information, epistematics refers to the automatic (and deductive) processing of knowledge, made possible by Semantic Web technologies.
