We have shown recently that, in extensions of ALC that involve inverse roles, conjunctive query answering is harder than satisfiability: it is 2-ExpTime-complete in general and NEx...
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...
Conjunctive queries play an important role as an expressive query language for Description Logics (DLs). Although modern DLs usually provide for transitive roles, conjunctive quer...

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 ...
Resolution-based calculi are among the most widely used calculi for theorem proving in first-order logic. Numerous refinements of resolution are nowadays available, such as e.g. ...
