Abstract. We show that the description logic SOQ with number restrictions on transitive roles is decidable by a terminating tableau calculus. The language decided by the calculus i...
Transitive roles are important for adequate representation of knowledge in a range of applications. In this paper we present a first algorithm to compute least common subsumers i...
Conjunctive queries play an important role as an expressive query language for Description Logics (DLs). Although modern DLs usually provide for transitive roles, conjunctive quer...

We have shown recently that, in extensions of ALC that involve inverse roles, conjunctive query answering is harder than satisfiability: it is 2-ExpTime-complete in general and NEx...
FaCT (Fast Classification of Terminologies) is a Description Logic (DL) classifier that can also be used for modal logic satisfiability testing. The FaCT system includes two reason...
Abstract. The Description Logics underpinning OWL impose a well-known syntactic restriction in order to preserve decidability: they do not allow to use nonsimple roles—that is, t...
