When reasoning in description, modal or temporal logics it is often useful to consider axioms representing universal truths in the domain of discourse. Reasoning with respect to a...
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...
Methods for computing the least common subsumer (lcs) are usually restricted to rather inexpressive Description Logics (DLs) whereas existing knowledge bases are written in very e...
We combine the modal logic S5 with the description logic (DL) ALCQI. In this way, we obtain a multi-dimensional DL, S5ALCQI, whose purpose is reasoning about change. S5ALCQI is ca...
