Abstract. Description Logic Programs (DL-programs) have been introduced to combine ontological and rule-based reasoning in the context of the Semantic Web. A DL-program loosely com...
Representing probabilistic knowledge in combination with a description logic has been a research topic for quite some time. In [1] one of such combinations is introduced. We presen...
A fundamental requirement for cooperating agents is to agree on a selection of component values of objects that can be used for reliably communicating references to the objects, to...
We introduce a description language for specifying partial ordering relations over concept descriptions in description logics, and show how the language can be used in combination ...

Abstract. This paper presents a tableau approach for deciding description logics outside the scope of OWL DL and current state-of-the-art tableau-based description logic systems. I...
We compare and contrast Description Logic (DL) and Order-Sorted Feature (OSF) Logic from the perspective of using them for expressing and reasoning with knowledge structures of the...
