Description Logic Programs (dl-programs) proposed by Eiter et al. constitute an elegant yet powerful formalism for the integration of answer set programming with description logic...
The work in this paper is directed towards sophisticated formalisms for reasoning under probabilistic uncertainty in ontologies in the Semantic Web. Ontologies play a central role...
Coalgebraic description logics offer a common semantic umbrella for extensions of description logics with reasoning principles outside relational semantics, e.g. quantitative uncer...
Using quantitative models of simple mechanisms as an example domain, we show how the basic principles of consistency-based diagnosis can be implemented using description logics wi...
Practical applications of description logics (DLs) in knowledge-based systems have forced us to introduce the following features which are absent from existing DLs: • allowing a...
We describe a method for characterizing the expressive power of description logics. The method is essentially model-theoretic in nature, and it is applied to obtain expressiveness...
In this paper, we demonstrate that the main standard optimization techniques dependency directed backtracking and model merging can be adapted to description logics with concrete ...
This paper proposes a framework to learn concepts from di erent kinds of observations. We de ne a language to describe meta-concepts, that represent the sets of possible concepts ...
We consider two recently proposed definitions of the expressive power of description logics, one due to Baader, the other due to Kurtonina and de Rijke. The proposals are non-equi...
Many description logics (DLs) combine knowledge tation on an abstract, logical level with an interface to “concrete” domains such as numbers and strings. We propose to extend ...
