This paper investigates optimization techniques and data structures exploiting the use of so-called pseudo models. These techniques are applied to speed up TBox and ABox reasoning ...
Effective optimisation techniques can make a dramatic difference in the performance of knowledge representation systems based on expressive description logics. Because of the corre...
This paper gives an account of how traditional metadata application profiles are related to Web ontologies and Description Logics. It is shown that metadata profiles can be formal...

Abstract. Description Logics are a family of class based knowledge representation formalisms characterised by the use of various constructors to build complex classes from simpler ...
RACER implements a TBox and ABox reasoner for the logic SHIQ. RACER was the first full-fledged ABox description logic system for a very expressive logic and is based on optimized ...
