Abstract. In the paper we propose a method of structuring a knowledge base into hierarchically related contexts and present how this arrangement influences the structure of TBox a...

In Description Logics (DLs), both tableau-based and automata-based algorithms are frequently used to show decidability and complexity results for basic inference problems such as c...
Abstract. In this work we propose an alternative approach to inference in DLLite, based on a reduction to reasoning in an extension of function-free Horn Logic (EHL). We develop a ...
Abstract. Concept approximation is an inference service for Description Logics that provides “translations” of concept descriptions from one DL to a less expressive DL. In [4] ...
We present a novel reasoning calculus for the Description Logic SHIQ. In order to reduce the nondeterminism due to general inclusion axioms, we base our calculus on hypertableau an...
Abstract. We present a novel approach to logic-based bilateral negotiation in ecommerce systems. We use Description Logics to describe both requests/offers submitted by buyers and ...

Distributed Description Logics (DDLs) is a KR formalism that enables reasoning with multiple ontologies interconnected by directional semantic mapping (bridge rules). DDLs capture ...
