Ontologies are set to play a key role in the "Semantic Web", extending syntactic interoperability to semantic interoperability by providing a source of shared and precise...
Possibilistic logic provides a convenient tool for dealing with inconsistency and handling uncertainty. In this paper, we propose possibilistic description logics as an extension o...
Forthcoming in the Journal of Aritificial Intelligence We introduce mathematical programming and atomic decomposition as the basic modal (T-Box) inference techniques for a large c...
Integrating description logics (DL) and logic programming (LP) would produce a very powerful and useful formalism. However, DLs and LP are based on quite different principles, so ...
Abstract. We consider a realization of Reiter-style default logic on top of description logic knowledge bases (DL-KBs). To this end, we present elegant transformations from default...
