Description logics (DLs) and rules are formalisms that emphasize different aspects of knowledge representation: whereas DLs are focused on specifying and reasoning about conceptual...
Abstract. We provide an interactive method for knowledge acquisition combining approaches from description logic and formal concept analysis. Based on present data, hypothetical ru...
We propose to extend description logic with defeasible rules, and to use the inferential mechanism of defeasible logic to reason with description logic constructors.
We address the problem of reasoning with instances of heterogeneously formalized ontologies. Given a set of semantic mappings, reconciling conceptual and instance level heterogenei...
