Calculations in OWL

The current OWL specification does not include a syntax for specifying calculated values for data type properties. Their introduction, although acknowledged among the desiderata, seems yet unlikely to appear in the forthcoming OWL 2.0. This paper shows one way of working around this absence using annotations. The aim here is not to suggest a standard but, rather, to individuate the potential issues that a full fledged standard solution will have to tackle. 1 Motivation
