Practical applications of description logics (DLs) in knowledge-based systems have forced us to introduce the following features which are absent from existing DLs: • allowing a...
Answering queries over an incomplete database w.r.t. a set of constraints is an important computational task with applications in fields as diverse as information integration and ...
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...
One of Semantic Web strengths is the ability to address incomplete knowledge. However, at present, it cannot handle incomplete knowledge directly. Also, it cannot handle non-monoto...
Abstract. We introduce description logic (DL) rules as a new rule-based formalism for knowledge representation in DLs. As a fragment of the Semantic Web Rule Language SWRL, DL rule...
