PSPACE Automata for Description Logics
Tree automata are often used for satisfiability testing in the area of description logics, which usually yields ExpTime complexity results. We examine conditions under which this ...

Issues in expressing metadata application profiles with description logics and OWL 2
This paper gives an account of how traditional metadata application profiles are related to Web ontologies and Description Logics. It is shown that metadata profiles can be formal...

Rewriting Rules into SROIQ Axioms
Description Logics are a family of very expressive logics but some forms of knowledge are much more intuitive to formulate otherwise, say, as rules. Rules in DL can be dealt with t...

Consistency Checking for Extended Description Logics
In this paper we consider the extensions of description logics that were proposed to represent uncertain or vague knowledge, focusing on the fuzzy and possibilistic formalisms. We ...

Paraconsistent Reasoning for Expressive and Tractable Description Logics
Abstract. Four-valued description logic has been proposed to reason with description logic based inconsistent knowledge bases, mainly ALC. This approach has a distinct advantage th...
