The use of Description Logic as the basis for Semantic Web Languages has led to new requirements with respect to scalable and nonstandard reasoning. In this paper, we address the p...
Answering conjunctive queries (CQs) has been recognized as a key task for the usage of Description Logics (DLs) in a number of applications. The problem has been studied by many au...
We present cq-programs, which enhance nonmonotonic description logics (dl-) programs by conjunctive queries (CQ) and union of conjunctive queries (UCQ) over Description Logics kno...

Abstract. Fuzzy Description Logics (f-DLs) have been proposed as formalisms capable of capturing and reasoning about imprecise and vague knowledge. The last years, research in Desc...

mspass is an extension of the first-order theorem prover spass, which can be used as a modal logic theorem prover, a theorem prover for description logics and a theorem prover for ...
When reasoning in description, modal or temporal logics it is often useful to consider axioms representing universal truths in the domain of discourse. Reasoning with respect to a...
The Web Service Modeling Language (WSML) is a language for the specification of different aspects of Semantic Web Services. It provides a formal language for the Web Service Modeli...

Effective optimisation techniques can make a dramatic difference in the performance of knowledge representation systems based on expressive description logics. Because of the corre...
Computing least common subsumers in description logics is an important reasoning service useful for a number of applications. As shown in the literature, this reasoning service ca...
