The evolution of Description Logics (DLs) and Propositional Dynamic Logics produced a hierar chy of decidable logics with multiple maximal el ements. It would be desirable to ...
In this chapter we will introduce description logics, a family of logic-based knowledge representation languages that can be used to represent the terminological knowledge of an a...
In this paper, we study the maintenance of role-based access control (RBAC) models in database environments using transitive closure relations. In particular, the algorithms that ...
This paper describes the implementation of a tableau-based reasoning component which is capable of providing quasi natural language explanations for subsumptions within ALEHFR+ TBo...
Description Logics (DLs) are knowledge representation formalisms that provide, for example, the logical underpinning of the W3C OWL standards. Conjunctive queries (CQs), the stand...
