Answering Regular Path Queries in Expressive Description Logics: An Automata-Theoretic Approach
Expressive Description Logics (DLs) have been advocated as formalisms for modeling the domain of interest in various application areas. An important requirement is the ability to ...

Preferential Description Logics
In this paper we propose a nonmonotonic extension ALC + Tmin of the Description Logic ALC for reasoning about prototypical properties and inheritance with exception. The logic ALC ...

A Tableau Algorithm for Description Logics with Concrete Domains and General TBoxes
To use description logics (DLs) in an application, it is crucial to identify a DL that is sufficiently expressive to represent the relevant notions of the application domain, but f...

Using Lazy Unfolding for the Computation of Least Common Subsumers
For description logics with existential restrictions, the size of the least common subsumer (lcs) of concept descriptions may grow exponentially in the size of the concept descrip...

Reasoning with Individuals for the Description Logic SHIQ
Abstract. While there has been a great deal of work on the development of reasoning algorithms for expressive description logics, in most cases only Tbox reasoning is considered. I...
