Abstract. In this paper, we propose an approach to translating any ALC ontology (possible inconsistent) into a logically consistent set of disjunctive datalog rules. We achieve thi...
Abstract. To make ABox reasoning scalable for large ABoxes in description logic (DL) knowledge bases, we develop a method for partitioning the ABox so that specific kinds of reaso...
We introduce a description language for specifying partial ordering relations over concept descriptions in description logics, and show how the language can be used in combination ...

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...

We show that global caching can be used with propagation of both satisfiability and unsatisfiability in a sound manner to give an EXPTIME algorithm for checking satisfiability w...
An important reasoning task, in addition to the standard DL reasoning services, is conjunctive query answering. In this paper, we present a decision procedure for conjunctive query...
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...
In this paper we deal with the problem of providing natural language front-ends to databases upon which an ontology layer has been added. Specifically, we are interested in expres...
