An important reasoning task, in addition to the standard DL reasoning services, is conjunctive query answering. In this paper, we present algorithms for conjunctive query answerin...
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. This paper investigates Description Logics which allow transitive closure of roles to occur not only in concept inclusion axioms but also in role inclusion axioms. First,...
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...
Number restrictions are concept constructors that are available in almost all implemented description logic systems. However, even though there has lately been considerable effort...
