Abstract. This paper presents an algorithm of adaptation for a case-based reasoning system with cases and domain knowledge represented in the expressive description logic ALC. The ...
We present an empirical analysis of optimization techniques devised to speed up the so-called TBox classification supported by description logic systems which have to deal with ve...
Description Logics are a family of very expressive logics but some forms of knowledge are much more intuitive to formulate otherwise, say, as rules. Rules in DL can be dealt with t...
Answering queries posed over knowledge bases is a central problem in knowledge representation and database theory. In databases, query containment is one of the important query op...
The work in this paper is directed towards sophisticated formalisms for reasoning under probabilistic uncertainty in ontologies in the Semantic Web. Ontologies play a central role...
