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 ...
We describe a method for characterizing the expressive power of description logics. The method is essentially model-theoretic in nature, and it is applied to obtain expressiveness...
The formalism of nonmonotonic causal theories (Giunchiglia, Lee, Lifschitz, McCain, Turner, 2004) provides a general-purpose formalism for nonmonotonic reasoning and knowledge repr...
Abstract. Inconsistency handling in expressive description logics is an important problem because inconsistency may naturally occur in an open world. In this paper, we present the ...
