We introduce tree-width for first order formulae , fotw(). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover, we show that on classes of formul...
The novel context of accessing and querying large data repositories through ontologies that are formalized in terms of expressive DLs requires on the one hand to consider query an...
Given an unlabeled, unweighted, and undirected graph with n vertices and small (but not necessarily constant) treewidth k, we consider the problem of preprocessing the graph to bui...
Description Logics (DLs) are the formal foundations of the standard web ontology languages OWL-DL and OWL-Lite. In the Semantic Web and other domains, ontologies are increasingly ...
Recent techniques increase rapidly the amount of our knowledge on interactions between proteins. The interpretation of these new information depends on our ability to retrieve kno...
