We present an optimized query rewriting algorithm for OWL 2 QL that computes the rewriting set of a user query by avoiding unnecessary inferences and extended clause subsumption ch...
The canonical standard description logic reasoning service is classification, that is, the generation of the set of atomic subsumptions which are entailed by some ontology. While ...
We introduce an algorithm for MinA extraction in EL based on bidirectional reachability. We obtain a significant reduction in the size of modules extracted at almost no additional...
We present a framework for logic-based matchmaking on ALN ABoxes stored in a relational database. The proposed approach allows both non-standard reasoning and subsumption check be ...

In order to meet usability requirements, most logic-based applications provide explanation facilities for reasoning services. This holds also for DLs, where research focused on the...

We study a restriction of the classification procedure for EL++ where the inference rule for complex role inclusion axioms (RIAs) is applied in a “left-linear” way in analogy ...
We propose a method for controlling the quality of (semi-)automatically acquired axioms. We combine the manual inspection of axioms with automatic evaluation decisions and propose ...

Abstract. In this paper, we introduce a paraconsistent extension of Rough Description Logics which allows the representation of incomplete and contradictory concepts, as well as th...
We propose an extension of SROIQ with nominal schemas which can be used like “variable nominal concepts” within axioms. This feature allows us to express arbitrary DL-safe rule...
We prove co-N2ExpTime-hardness for conjunctive query entailment in the description logic ALCOIF , thus improving the previously known 2ExpTime lower bound. The result transfers to ...
