ABox Reasoning in large scale description logic (DL) knowledge bases, e.g. ontologies, is important for the success of many semantic-enriched systems. Performance of existing appro...
OWL 2 RL was standardized as a less expressive but scalable subset of OWL 2 that allows a forward-chaining implementation. However, building an enterprise-scale forward-chaining ba...
Horn fragments of Description Logics (DLs) have gained popularity because they provide a beneficial trade-off between expressive power and computational complexity and, more spec...
Being able to extend an OWL ontology with some form of rules is a feature that many ontology developers consider as very important. Nevertheless, working with rules in practice can...

We show that, although conjunctive queries over OWL 2 QL ontologies are reducible to database queries, no algorithm can construct such a reduction in polynomial time without changi...
