We address the problem of reasoning with instances of heterogeneously formalized ontologies. Given a set of semantic mappings, reconciling conceptual and instance level heterogenei...
The latest ontology languages can be translated into a description logic (DL), thus providing them with a formal semantics and associated reasoning procedures. We introduce the or...
Abstract. We investigate the concept product as an expressive feature for description logics (DLs). While this construct allows us to express an arguably very common and natural ty...
Hybrid languages are extended modal languages which can refer to (or even quantify over) states. Such languages are better behaved proof theoretically than ordinary modal languages...
Hybrid logics are a principled generalization of both modal logics and description logics, a standard formalism for knowledge representation. In this paper we give the first const...
