We present lower bounds on the computational complexity of satisfiability and subsumption in several description logics. We interpret these lower bounds as coming from different...
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...
Building on the fact that descriptive frames are coalgebras for the Vietoris functor on the category of Stone spaces, we introduce and study the concept of a Vietoris bisimulation...
Abstract. Contextual ontologies are ontologies that characterize a concept by a set of properties that vary according to context. Contextual ontologies are now crucial for users wh...

Abstract. We provide a formal characterization of a notion of contextual taxonomy, that is to say, a taxonomy holding only with respect to a specific context. To this aim, a new pr...
