Paraconsistent Reasoning for Expressive and Tractable Description Logics
Abstract. Four-valued description logic has been proposed to reason with description logic based inconsistent knowledge bases, mainly ALC. This approach has a distinct advantage th...

Reasoning Support for Expressive Ontology Languages Using a Theorem Prover
It is claimed in [45] that first-order theorem provers are not efficient for reasoning with ontologies based on description logics compared to specialised description logic reasone...

All Elephants are Bigger than All Mice
Abstract. We investigate the concept product as an expressive feature for description logics (DLs). While this construct allows us to express an arguably very common and natural ty...
