Practical scalability of Description Logic (DL) reasoning is an important premise for the adoption of OWL in a real-world setting. Many highly efficient optimizations for the DL ta...
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...
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...
Semantic web applications based on the web ontology language (OWL) often require the use of numbers in class descriptions for expressing cardinality restrictions on properties or ...
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...
