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 bring together two recent trends in description logic (DL): lightweight DLs in which the subsumption problem is tractable and conservative extensions as a central tool for forma...
Product development requires the ability to check design consistency, to verify design properties, and to answer questions about a design's possible implementations. These tas...
The Constraint Language for Lambda Structures (CLLS) is an expressive tree description language. It provides a uniform framework for underspecified semantics, covering scope, ell...
Number restrictions are concept constructors that are available in almost all implemented description logic systems. However, even though there has lately been considerable effort...
