Abstract. Description Logics (DLs) are a family of class based knowledge representation formalisms characterised by the use of various constructors to build complex classes from si...
We formulate an algebra of binary temporal relations between events the number of occurrences of which is unknown, but which are known to recur in time. Ontologically, we view the...
This paper describes an experimental platform for approximate knowledge databases called the Approximate Knowledge Database (AKDB), based on a semantics inspired by rough sets. The...
An important question for the upcoming Semantic Web is how to best combine open world ontology languages, such as the OWL-based ones, with closed world rule-based languages. One o...
As a tractable description logic, DL-Lite provides a good compromise between expressive power and computational complexity of inference. It is therefore important to study ways of ...
