Many popular ontology languages are based on (subsets of) first-order predicate logic, with classes represented by unary predicates and properties by binary predicates. Specificall...
Motivated by medical terminology applications, we investigate the decidability of the well known expressive DL, SHIQ, extended with role inclusion axioms (RIAs) of the form R ◦ ...
We present a novel reasoning calculus for the Description Logic SHIQ. In order to reduce the nondeterminism due to general inclusion axioms, we base our calculus on hypertableau an...
We present extended conceptual logic programs (ECLPs), for which reasoning is decidable and, moreover, can be reduced to finite answer set programming. ECLPs are useful to reason ...
