Description logics have been designed and studied in a modular way. This has allowed a methodic approach to complexity evaluation. We present a way to preserve this modularity in ...
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 ...
The conceptual formalism supported by an ontology is not sufficient for handling vague information that is commonly found in many application domains. We describe how to introduce...
In the quest for expressive description logics for real-world applications, a powerful combination of constructs has so far eluded practical decision procedures: intersection and ...
The aim of this paper is to show how we can handle the Recognising Textual Entailment (RTE) task by using Description Logics (DLs). To do this, we propose a representation of natur...
