Abstract. The limitations of deductive logic-based approaches at deriving operational knowledge from ontologies may be overcome by inductive (instancebased) methods, which are usua...
In order to capture the full fledge semantic of complicated product data model, the expressive language ALCNHR+ K(D) is introduced. It cannot only be able to represent knowledge a...
To ensure the re-use of domain ontologies the usual approach relies on a pivot language, e.g., Kif, intoandfromwhich the domainontologyis translated. This requires several distinc...
We present a translation of looping alternating two-way automata into a comparably inexpressive description logic, which is contained in SHIQ. This enables us to perform the empti...
In 1997, the American Medical Informatics Association proposed a US information strategy that included a population health record (PopHR). Despite subsequent progress on the conce...
