Abstract. We consider a realization of Reiter-style default logic on top of description logic knowledge bases (DL-KBs). To this end, we present elegant transformations from default...
Abstract. Knowledge compilation is a common technique for propositional logic knowledge bases. The idea is to transform a given knowledge base into a special normal form ([MR03],[D...
Answering queries over an incomplete database w.r.t. a set of constraints is an important computational task with applications in fields as diverse as information integration and ...
Scalability of reasoning systems is one of the main criteria which will determine the success of Semantic Web systems in the future. The focus of recent work is either on (a) expre...
Abstract. Model-based most specific concepts are a non-standard reasoning service in Description Logics. They have turned out to be useful in knowledge base completion for ontologi...
