A Matter of Principles: Towards the Largest DLP Possible
Abstract. Description Logic Programs (DLP) have been described as a description logic (DL) that is in the "expressive intersection" of DL and datalog. This is a very weak...

Deciding inseparability and conservative extensions in the description logic EL
We study the problem of deciding whether two ontologies are inseparable w.r.t. a signature Σ, i.e., whether they have the same consequences in the signature Σ. A special case is...
