Abstract. We show that the description logic SOQ with number restrictions on transitive roles is decidable by a terminating tableau calculus. The language decided by the calculus i...
Abstract. We describe two methods on the basis of which efficient resolution decision procedures can be developed for a range of description logics. The first method uses an orderi...
This paper investigates a Description Logic, namely SHI+, which extends SHI by adding transitive closure of roles. The resulting logic SHI+ allows transitive closure of roles to oc...
We present a terminating tableau calculus for graded hybrid logic with global modalities, reflexivity, transitivity and role hierarchies. Termination of the system is achieved thr...
Motivated by medical terminology applications, we investigate the decidability of the well known expressive DL, SHIQ, extended with role inclusion axioms (RIAs) of the form R ◦ ...
