Number Restrictions on Complex Roles in Description Logics

Baader, Franz, Sattler, Ulrike 18 May 2022 (has links)
Number restrictions are concept constructors that are available in almost all implemented description logic systems. However, even though there has lately been considerable effort on integrating expressive role constructors into description logics, the roles that may occur in number restrictions are usually of a very restricted type. Until now, only languages with number restrictions on atomic roles and inversion of atomic roles, or with number restrictions on intersection of atomic roles have been investigated in detail. In the present paper, we increase the expressive power of description languages by allowing for more complex roles in number restrictions. As role constructors, we consider composition of roles (which will be present in all our languages), and intersection, union and inversion of roles in different combinations. We will present one decidability result (for the basic language that extends ALC by number restrictions on roles with composition), and three undecidability results for three different extensions of the basic language.
