Practical reasoning for expressive description logics

From MaRDI portal





This paper examines a particular class of knowledge representation formalisms, namely description logics. Specifically, several extensions and variants of a classical example, \(\mathcal ALC\), introduced in 1991 by \textit{M. Schmidt-Schauss} and \textit{G. Smolka} [J. Artif. Intell. 48, No. 1, 1-26 (1991; Zbl 0712.68095)] are studied. It was shown that deciding coherence and subsumption for \(\mathcal ALC\) are PSPACE-complete problems in linear space. The present paper examines satisfiability and subsumption of the examined variants and proves, among others, that these problems are still in PSPACE. This conference version contains only selected proofs; the authors refer to technical reports, published at their institutions, for full details. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0921.00037].
