In this paper the C-CLASSIC Description Logic is used to design the retrieval and selection tasks of a Case-Based Reasoning system with homogeneous, explicit and formal criteria. T...
Computing least common subsumers in description logics is an important reasoning service useful for a number of applications. As shown in the literature, it can, for instance, be u...
Abstract. Description logics are powerful knowledge representation systems providing well-founded and computationally tractable classification reasoning. However recognition of in...
Abstract. While there has been a great deal of work on the development of reasoning algorithms for expressive description logics, in most cases only Tbox reasoning is considered. I...
This paper presents an approach to answering queries over an ontology modelled using a description logic. The ontology acts as a global schema, providing a declarative description...

The latest ontology languages can be translated into a description logic (DL), thus providing them with a formal semantics and associated reasoning procedures. We introduce the or...
We propose to extend description logic with defeasible rules, and to use the inferential mechanism of defeasible logic to reason with description logic constructors.
Practical description logic systems play an ever-growing role for knowledge representation and reasoning research even in distributed environments. In particular, the often-discus...
