We propose a set of metrics for measuring the semantic implications of changes during ontology evolution. Our metrics focus on the changes of classes and associated axioms or annot...
There is an ongoing discussion whether reasoning in the Semantic Web should be monotonic or not. It seems however that the problem concerns not only the reasoning over knowledge bu...
We present an optimized query rewriting algorithm for OWL 2 QL that computes the rewriting set of a user query by avoiding unnecessary inferences and extended clause subsumption ch...
We show that deciding conjunctive query inseparability for OWL 2 QL ontologies is PSpace-hard and in ExpTime. We give polynomial-time (incomplete) algorithms and demonstrate by exp...

RDF(S) and OWL 2 currently support only static ontologies. In practice, however, the truth of statements often changes with time, and Semantic Web applications often need to repres...
