We present a new tableaux calculus deciding the ABox consistency problem for the expressive description logic ALCNHR+ . Prominent language features of ALCNHR+ are number restricti...
The paper presents a logic-based approach to legislative meta-drafting. A class of meta-data, corresponding to specific classes of legal provisions, is introduced and discussed. Su...
This paper investigates optimization techniques and data structures exploiting the use of so-called pseudo models. These techniques are applied to speed-up TBox and ABox reasoning...
This paper proposes a paraconsistent and nonmonotonic extension of description logic by planting a nonmonotonic mechanism called minimal inconsistency in paradoxical description lo...
Meta-logics and type systems based on intuitionistic logic are commonly used for specifying natural deduction proof systems. We shall show here that linear logic can be used as a m...
