In this extended abstract an optimization technique, the so-called signature calculus, for reasoning with number restrictions in description logics is investigated. The calculus i...
Abstract. There has been an increased interest in recent years to incorporate uncertainty in Description Logics (DLs), and a number of proposals have been put forward for modeling ...
Query answering in Ontology Based Data Access (OBDA) exploits the knowledge of an ontology’s TBox to deal with incompleteness of the ABox (or data source). Current query-answerin...
Abstract. Approximation has been identified as a potential way of reducing the complexity of logical reasoning. Here we explore approximation for speeding up instance retrieval in...
This paper investigates an optimization technique for reasoning with qualified number restrictions in the description logic ALCQHR+ . We present a hybrid architecture where a stan...
