We present an empirical analysis of optimization techniques devised to speed up the so-called TBox classification supported by description logic systems which have to deal with ve...
Abstract. Modern description logic (DL) reasoners are known to be less efficient for DLs with inverse roles. The current loss of performance is largely due to the missing applicabi...
In this paper, we present a normal form for concept expressions in the description logic ALC which is based on a recently introduced notion of prime implicate for the modal logic ...
Abstract. We address the revision problem for knowledge bases (KBs) in Description Logics (DLs). This problem has received much attention in the ontology management and DL communit...
Matching of concepts with variables (concept patterns) is a relatively new operation that has been introduced in the context of concept description languages (description logics),...
