Abstract. We are interested in the theoretical foundations of the optimization of conjunctive regular path queries (CRPQs). The basic problem here is deciding query containment bot...
The Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) is a consortium that serves as a repository of ontologies that are structured like directed acyclic graphs. In this paper we present a language...
This paper introduces a new logical formalism, intended for temporal conceptual modelling, as a natural combination of the well-known description logic DLR and point-based linear ...
Abstract. This paper presents a decidable fragment for combining ontologies and rules in order-sorted logic programming. We describe ordersorted logic programming with sort, predic...
As applications of description logics proliferate, efficient reasoning with knowledge bases containing many assertions becomes ever more important. For such cases, we developed a n...
