This paper describes our current activities to supply extended reasoning support to knowledge engineers who are building terminologies using Description Logics (DL) reasoners. The...
In this paper we formalise compilation of the conjunctive bodies of a restricted class of Horn rules into updates on terminologies. This involves a pre-processing of the graphs re...
In this paper, we demonstrate that the main standard optimization techniques dependency directed backtracking and model merging can be adapted to description logics with concrete ...
Abstract. Generalized closed world reasoning allows for the assumption of a specified maximal set of negated atomic assertions retaining the consistency of an indefinite knowledge ...
This chapter covers extensions of the basic description logics introduced in Chapter 2 by very expressive constructs that require advanced reasoning techniques. In particular, we ...
