Title: Reasoning in Description Logics Author: Mgr. Jaromír Malenko Department: Department of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Logic, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Petr Štěpánek, DrSc.; Department of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Logic, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague Keywords: Description logic, Reasoner, Cartesian product, Non-monotonic reasoning Abstract: We deal with several aspects of reasoning in Description Logics. First, since description logic (DL) is a subset of First Order Logic (FOL), we use a FOL reasoner to reason in DL. We implemented dl2fol, a DL reasoner that takes an ontology (a DL theory with rules), translates it into a FOL theory, passes this set of formulae to an underling FOL reasoner, and interprets the result in terms of given ontology. This is an effective method for reasoning with newly introduced language constructors. However, we observed longer running times and that satisfiability of some DL concepts wasn't proved due to FOL undecidability. Second, we extend two DLs by introducing new language construct: cartesian product (CP) of concepts and roles. This allows for expressing relationships, that are not expressible by other means in weaker DLs. We...
