In the field of non-monotonic logics, the notion of rational closure is acknowledged as a landmark, and we are going to see that such a construction can be characterised by means o...
To ensure the re-use of domain ontologies the usual approach relies on a pivot language, e.g., Kif, intoandfromwhich the domainontologyis translated. This requires several distinc...
This chapter covers extensions of the basic description logics introduced in Chapter 2 by very expressive constructs that require advanced reasoning techniques. In particular, we ...
Abstract. Inconsistency handling is of growing importance in Knowledge Representation since inconsistencies may frequently occur in an open world. Paraconsistent (or inconsistency-...
Translations to (first-order) datalog have been used in a number of inferencing techniques for description logics (DLs), yet the relationship between the semantic expressivities o...
