We introduce an extension of Description Logics (DLs) for representing and reasoning about contextualized knowledge. Our formalism is inspired by McCarthy’s theory of formalizing...
This paper proposes constructs that can be used to declaratively specify the disjoint nature of object properties or roles. These constructs may be a useful extension to the Descr...
We propose an extension of SROIQ with nominal schemas which can be used like “variable nominal concepts” within axioms. This feature allows us to express arbitrary DL-safe rule...
This paper presents an application of a DL reasoner to the optimization of an object-relational query language. Queries containing aggregate functions are difficult to optimize be...
Beluga is an environment for programming and reasoning about formal systems given by axioms and inference rules. It implements the logical framework LF for specifying and prototypi...
