Motivated by the possibilities of applying deductive database technology for efficient query answering in description logics, we present a translation operator µ that transforms...
We introduce an extension of Description Logics (DLs) for representing and reasoning about contextualized knowledge. Our formalism is inspired by McCarthy’s theory of formalizing...
Classical ontologies are not suitable to represent imprecise nor uncertain pieces of information. As a solution we will combine fuzzy Description Logics with a possibilistic layer....
In the area of Description Logic (DL), both tableau-based and automata-based algorithms are frequently used to show decidability and complexity results for basic inference problem...
Abstract. Tableau calculi are the state-of-the-art for reasoning in description logics (DL). Despite recent improvements, tableau-based reasoners still cannot process certain knowl...
