Abstract. A usage scenario of bio-ontologies is hypothesis testing, such as finding relationships or new subconcepts in the data linked to the ontology. Whilst validating the hypot...
In this paper, we propose a tableau-based technique for reasoning with various distributed DL knowledge bases. This technique can be applied both to DDLs and to new and relevant s...
Abstract. We introduce description logic (DL) rules as a new rule-based formalism for knowledge representation in DLs. As a fragment of the Semantic Web Rule Language SWRL, DL rule...
In spite of the increasing effort spent on building ontologies for the Semantic Web, little attention has been paid to the impact of these ontologies on knowledge-based intelligen...
Description Logics (DLs) are knowledge representation formalisms that provide, for example, the logical underpinning of the W3C OWL standards. Conjunctive queries (CQs), the stand...
Axiom pinpointing has been introduced in description logics (DL) to help the user understand the reasons why consequences hold by computing minimal subsets of the knowledge base th...
