Scalable query answering over Description Logic (DL) based ontologies plays an important role for the success of the Semantic Web. Towards tackling the scalability problem, we prop...
W3C currently extends the SPARQL query language with so-called entailment regimes, which define how queries are evaluated using logical entailment relations. We describe a sound a...
In this paper we present a novel approach for estimating the selectivity of XML twig queries. Such a technique is useful for approximate query answering as well as for determining...
Abstract. In order to effectively and quickly answer queries in environments with distributed RDF/OWL, we present a query optimization algorithm to identify the potentially relevan...
Practical scalability of Description Logic (DL) reasoning is an important premise for the adoption of OWL in a real-world setting. Many highly efficient optimizations for the DL ta...
