An important reasoning task, in addition to the standard DL reasoning services, is conjunctive query answering. In this paper, we present algorithms for conjunctive query answerin...
We bring together two recent trends in description logic (DL): lightweight DLs in which the subsumption problem is tractable and conservative extensions as a central tool for forma...
Ontologies are set to play a key role in the "Semantic Web", extending syntactic interoperability to semantic interoperability by providing a source of shared and precis...
Motivated by a chemical process engineering application, we introduce a new concept constructor in Description Logics (DLs), an n-ary variant of the existential restriction constr...
As applications of description logics proliferate, efficient reasoning with knowledge bases containing many assertions becomes ever more important. For such cases, we developed a n...
