Using Lazy Unfolding for the Computation of Least Common Subsumers
For description logics with existential restrictions, the size of the least common subsumer (lcs) of concept descriptions may grow exponentially in the size of the concept descrip...

A Note on Concepts and Distances
We combine the description logic ALC with the metric logics defined Entities that are conceived of as abstract points in the realm of ALC are given a spatial extension via an `ext...

Optimizing Reasoning in Description Logics with Qualified Number Restrictions
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...

Description of the RACER System and its Applications
RACER implements a TBox and ABox reasoner for the logic SHIQ. RACER was the first full-fledged ABox description logic system for a very expressive logic and is based on optimized ...

On Expressive Number Restrictions in Description Logics
We consider expressive Description Logics (ALCN) allowing for number restrictions on complex roles built with combinations of role constructors. In particular, we are mainly inter...

Preserving Modularity in XML Encoding of Description Logics
Description logics have been designed and studied in a modular way. This has allowed a methodic approach to complexity evaluation. We present a way to preserve this modularity in ...
