Recently, the problem of inconsistency handling in description logics has attracted a lot of attention. Many approaches have been proposed to deal with this problem based on existi...
Abstract. One of the most frequently used inference services of description logic reasoners classifies all named classes of OWL ontologies into a subsumption hierarchy. Due to emer...
This paper investigates optimization techniques and data structures exploiting the use of so-called pseudo models. These techniques are applied to speed-up TBox and ABox reasoning...
DLP (Description Logic Prover) is an experimental description logic knowledge representation system. DLP currently implements a superset of propositional dynamic logic as well as ...
Effective systems for expressive description logics require a heavily-optimised subsumption checker incorporating a range of optimisation techniques. Because of the correspondence...
A serious shortcoming of many Description Logic based knowledge representation systems is the inadequacy of their query languages. In this paper we present a novel technique that ...
We report about some preliminary issues from the DFG project “Description Logics and Spatial Reasoning” (“DLS”, DFG Grant NE 279/8-1), one of whose goals is to develop a p...
An object-oriented software design is often modelled as a collection of UML diagrams. There is an inherent need to preserve the consistency between these diagrams. Moreover, throu...

In this paper, we introduce RICE, a graphical application for interacting with the description logic inference server Racer. Comparing RICE with OilEd, we address the problem of v...
In this paper, we investigate the use of Description Logic (DL) for representing Product Behavioral constraints in Computer Aided Design (CAD) Systems. In an integrated design app...
