Abstract. The demonstration presents Pronto - a prototype of a nonmonotonic probabilistic reasoner for very expressive Description Logics. Pronto is built on top of the OWL DL reas...
The last decade of basic research in the area of Description Logics (DL) has created a stable theory, efficient inference procedures, and has demonstrated a wide applicability of ...
We present a novel reasoning calculus for Description Logics (DLs)--knowledge representation formalisms with applications in areas such as the Semantic Web. In order to reduce the ...
