We show how extensible records with structural subtyping can be represented directly in Higher-Order Logic (HOL). Exploiting some specific properties of HOL, this encoding turns o...
Translations to (first-order) datalog have been used in a number of inferencing techniques for description logics (DLs), yet the relationship between the semantic expressivities o...
In this chapter we will introduce description logics, a family of logic-based knowledge representation languages that can be used to represent the terminological knowledge of an a...

The key to many approaches to reason about pointerbased data structures is the availability of a decision procedure to automatically discharge proof obligations in a theory encomp...
