Motivated by a chemical process engineering application, we introduce a new concept constructor in Description Logics (DLs), an n-ary variant of the existential restriction constr...
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....
Abstract. Model-based most specific concepts are a non-standard reasoning service in Description Logics. They have turned out to be useful in knowledge base completion for ontologi...
In this paper, we demonstrate that the main standard optimization techniques dependency directed backtracking and model merging can be adapted to description logics with concrete ...
In this paper, we propose an approach for measuring inconsistency in inconsistent ontologies. We first define the degree of inconsistency of an inconsistent ontology using a four...
