An Algebraic View on p-Admissible Concrete Domains for Lightweight Description Logics: Extended VersionBaader, Franz, Rydval, Jakub 20 June 2022 (has links)
Concrete domains have been introduced in Description Logics (DLs) to enable reference to concrete objects (such as numbers) and predefined predicates on these objects (such as numerical comparisons) when defining concepts. To retain decidability when integrating a concrete domain into a decidable DL, the domain must satisfy quite strong restrictions. In previous work, we have analyzed the most prominent such condition, called w-admissibility, from an algebraic point of view. This provided us with useful algebraic tools for proving w-admissibility, which allowed us to find new examples for concrete domains whose integration leaves the prototypical expressive DL ALC decidable. When integrating concrete domains into lightweight DLs of the EL family, achieving decidability is not enough. One wants reasoning in the resulting DL to be tractable. This can be achieved by using so-called p-admissible concrete domains and restricting the interaction between the DL and the concrete domain. In the present paper, we investigate p-admissibility from an algebraic point of view. Again, this yields strong algebraic tools for demonstrating p-admissibility. In particular, we obtain an expressive numerical padmissible concrete domain based on the rational numbers. Although w-admissibility and p-admissibility are orthogonal conditions that are almost exclusive, our algebraic characterizations of these two properties allow us to locate an infinite class of p-admissible concrete domains whose integration into ALC yields decidable DLs.

Metric Temporal Description Logics with Interval-Rigid Names: Extended VersionBaader, Franz, Borgwardt, Stefan, Koopmann, Patrick, Ozaki, Ana, Thost, Veronika 20 June 2022 (has links)
In contrast to qualitative linear temporal logics, which can be used to state that some property will eventually be satisfied, metric temporal logics allow to formulate constraints on how long it may take until the property is satisfied. While most of the work on combining Description Logics (DLs) with temporal logics has concentrated on qualitative temporal logics, there has recently been a growing interest in extending this work to the quantitative case. In this paper, we complement existing results on the combination of DLs with metric temporal logics over the natural numbers by introducing interval-rigid names. This allows to state that elements in the extension of certain names stay in this extension for at least some specified amount of time.

Query Rewriting for DL-Lite with n-ary Concrete Domains: Extended VersionBaader, Franz, Borgwardt, Stefan, Lippmann, Marcel 20 June 2022 (has links)
We investigate ontology-based query answering (OBQA) in a setting where both the ontology and the query can refer to concrete values such as numbers and strings. In contrast to previous work on this topic, the built-in predicates used to compare values are not restricted to being unary. We introduce restrictions on these predicates and on the ontology language that allow us to reduce OBQA to query answering in databases using the so-called combined rewriting approach. Though at first sight our restrictions are different from the ones used in previous work, we show that our results strictly subsume some of the existing first-order rewritability results for unary predicates. / This is an extended version of a paper published in the proceedings of IJCAI 2017.

Using Ontologies to Query Probabilistic Numerical Data: Extended VersionBaader, Franz, Koopmann, Patrick, Turhan, Anni-Yasmin 20 June 2022 (has links)
We consider ontology-based query answering in a setting where some of the data are numerical and of a probabilistic nature, such as data obtained from uncertain sensor readings. The uncertainty for such numerical values can be more precisely represented by continuous probability distributions than by discrete probabilities for numerical facts concerning exact values. For this reason, we extend existing approaches using discrete probability distributions over facts by continuous probability distributions over numerical values. We determine the exact (data and combined) complexity of query answering in extensions of the well-known description logics EL and ALC with numerical comparison operators in this probabilistic setting. / This is an extended version of the article in: Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems. This version has been revised based on the comments of the reviewers.

Temporal Query Answering in DL-Lite over Inconsistent DataBourgaux, Camille, Turhan, Anni-Yasmin 20 June 2022 (has links)
In ontology-based systems that process data stemming from different sources and that is received over time, as in context-aware systems, reasoning needs to cope with the temporal dimension and should be resilient against inconsistencies in the data. Motivated by such settings, this paper addresses the problem of handling inconsistent data in a temporal version of ontology-based query answering. We consider a recently proposed temporal query language that combines conjunctive queries with operators of propositional linear temporal logic and extend to this setting three inconsistency-tolerant semantics that have been introduced for querying inconsistent description logic knowledge bases. We investigate their complexity for DL-LiteR temporal knowledge bases, and furthermore complete the picture for the consistent case.

Terminological knowledge aquisition in probalistic description logicKriegel, Francesco 20 June 2022 (has links)
For a probabilistic extension of the description logic EL⊥, we consider the task of automatic acquisition of terminological knowledge from a given probabilistic interpretation. Basically, such a probabilistic interpretation is a family of directed graphs the vertices and edges of which are labeled, and where a discrete probabilitymeasure on this graph family is present. The goal is to derive so-called concept inclusions which are expressible in the considered probabilistic description logic and which hold true in the given probabilistic interpretation. A procedure for an appropriate axiomatization of such graph families is proposed and its soundness and completeness is justified.

Standard and Non-Standard Inferences in the Description Logic FL₀ Using Tree AutomataBaader, Franz, Gil, Oliver Fernández, Pensel, Maximilian 20 June 2022 (has links)
Although being quite inexpressive, the description logic (DL) FL₀, which provides only conjunction, value restriction and the top concept as concept constructors, has an intractable subsumption problem in the presence of terminologies (TBoxes): subsumption reasoning w.r.t. acyclic FL₀ TBoxes is coNP-complete, and becomes even ExpTime-complete in case general TBoxes are used. In the present paper, we use automata working on infinite trees to solve both standard and non-standard inferences in FL₀ w.r.t. general TBoxes. First, we give an alternative proof of the ExpTime upper bound for subsumption in FL₀ w.r.t. general TBoxes based on the use of looping tree automata. Second, we employ parity tree automata to tackle non-standard inference problems such as computing the least common subsumer and the difference of FL₀ concepts w.r.t. general TBoxes.

Contextualized Programs for Ontology-Mediated Probabilistic System AnalysisDubslaff, Clemens, Koopmann, Patrick, Turhan, Anni-Yasmin 20 June 2022 (has links)
Modeling context-dependent systems for their analysis is challenging as verification tools usually rely on an input language close to imperative programming languages which need not support description of contexts well. We introduce the concept of contextualized programs where operational behaviors and context knowledge are modeled separately using domain-specific formalisms. For behaviors specified in stochastic guarded-command language and contextual knowledge given by OWL description logic ontologies, we develop a technique to efficiently incorporate contextual information into behavioral descriptions by reasoning about the ontology. We show how our presented concepts support and facilitate the quantitative analysis of context-dependent systems using probabilistic model checking. For this, we evaluate our implementation on a case study issuing a multi-server system.

Most specific consequences in the description logic ELKriegel, Francesco 20 June 2022 (has links)
The notion of a most specific consequence with respect to some terminological box is introduced, conditions for its existence in the description logic EL and its variants are provided, and means for its computation are developed. Algebraic properties of most specific consequences are explored. Furthermore, several applications that make use of this new notion are proposed and, in particular, it is shown how given terminological knowledge can be incorporated in existing approaches for the axiomatization of observations. For instance, a procedure for an incremental learning of concept inclusions from sequences of interpretations is developed.

Ontology-Based Query Answering for Probabilistic Temporal Data: Extended VersionKoopmann, Patrick 20 June 2022 (has links)
We investigate ontology-based query answering for data that are both temporal and probabilistic, which might occur in contexts such as stream reasoning or situation recognition with uncertain data. We present a framework that allows to represent temporal probabilistic data, and introduce a query language with which complex temporal and probabilistic patterns can be described. Specifically, this language combines conjunctive queries with operators from linear time logic as well as probability operators. We analyse the complexities of evaluating queries in this language in various settings. While in some cases, combining the temporal and the probabilistic dimension in such a way comes at the cost of increased complexity, we also determine cases for which this increase can be avoided. / This is an extended version of the article to appear in the proceedings of AAAI 2019.
