Abstract. In this paper, we continue the recently started work on integrating action formalisms with description logics (DLs), by investigating planning in the context of DLs. We p...
We develop a formal framework for modular ontologies by analysing four notions of conservative extensions and their applications in refining, re-using, merging, and segmenting ont...

We show how the reasoning tasks of checking various versions of conservativity for the description logic DL-Litebool can be reduced to satisfiability of quantified Boolean formulas...

This paper proposes constructs that can be used to declaratively specify the disjoint nature of object properties or roles. These constructs may be a useful extension to the Descr...
In this paper we shall describe a very natural extension of MV-algebras, the divisible MV-algebras (DMV). Such algebraic structures will be used to give a formal description of ru...
