چکیده

Fuzzy Description Logics (f-DLs) have been proposed as formalisms capable of capturing and reasoning about imprecise and vague knowledge. The last years, research in Description Logics, and also in fDLs, is largely focused on the development of languages where complexity of query answering is as efficient as query answering in data bases. One such example is the DL-Lite language and its fuzzy extension f-DL-Lite. In the current paper we present various a variety of query languages by which we can query a fuzzy DL-Lite knowledge base. Then, we present a prototype implementation for querying f-DL-Lite ontologies.

Towards Temporal Fuzzy Query Answering on Stream-based Data

For reasoning over streams of data ontology-based data access is a common approach. The method for answering conjunctive queries (CQs) over DL-Lite ontologies in this setting is by rewritings of the query and evaluation of the resulting query by a data base engine. For streambased applications the classical expressivity of DL-Lite lacks means to handle fuzzy and temporal information. In this pa...

A pragmatic approach to answering CQs over fuzzy DL-Lite-ontologies - introducing FLite

Fuzzy Description Logics (FDLs) generalize crisp ones by providing membership degree semantics. To offer efficient query answering for FDLs it is desirable to extend the rewriting-based approach for DL-Lite to its fuzzy variants. For answering conjunctive queries over fuzzy DL-LiteR ontologies we present an approach, that employs the crisp rewriting as a black-box procedure and treats the degre...

A Protégé Plugin for Querying and Reasoning on Persistent OWL Ontologies

The OWL language [1] is being widely used to define ontologies in the Web. This language provides three increasingly expressive sublanguages, namely OWL Lite, OWL-DL and OWL Full. The OWL-DL XML based syntax together with its correspondence with Description Logics (DL) [2], make it a good candidate to be the standard language for defining ontologies used by Semantic Web applications. However, t...

Query Rewriting for Horn-SHIQ Plus Rules

Query answering over Description Logic (DL) ontologies has become a vibrant field of research. Efficient realizations often exploit database technology and rewrite a given query to an equivalent SQL or Datalog query over a database associated with the ontology. This approach has been intensively studied for conjunctive query answering in the DL-Lite and EL families, but is much less explored fo...

Query Rewriting Beyond DL-Lite

Query rewriting has become a very prominent tool for efficiently implementing ontology-mediated querying in practice. The technique was originally introduced in the context of DL-Lite [4], but is now increasingly being used also for more expressive DLs. While rewritings are not guaranteed to exist beyond DL-Lite, the simple structure of ontologies that emerge from practical applications gives h...
