We investigate whether identification constraints such as keys and functional dependencies can be granted full status as a concept constructor in a Boolean-complete description log...
Parallelism constraints are logical descriptions of trees. Parallelism constraints subsume dominance constraints and are equal in expressive power to context unification. Paralleli...
In the context of the Semantic Web or semantic peer to peer systems, many ontologies may exist and be developed independently. Ontology alignments help integrating, mediating or re...
Meseguer's rewriting logic and the rewriting logic CRWL are two well-known approaches to rewriting as logical deduction that, despite some clear similarities, were designed w...
ABox Reasoning in large scale description logic (DL) knowledge bases, e.g. ontologies, is important for the success of many semantic-enriched systems. Performance of existing appro...
