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 investigates optimization techniques and data structures exploiting the use of so-called pseudo models. These techniques are applied to speed-up TBox and ABox reasoning...
In this contribution we present an empirical analysis of the performance of the ALCNHR+ description logic system RACE applied to TBoxes with a very large number of primitive conce...
We describe a mechanism that can be used to drive interfaces from a description logic (DL) model of the domain. A simple layer with limited expressivity sits on top of the DL, wit...
Recently, there has been a wide interest in using ontologies on the Web. As a basis for this, RDF Schema (RDFS) provides means to define vocabulary, structure and constraints for ...
