TAILIEUCHUNG - A horn fragment with ptime data complexity of regular description logic with inverse
We study a Horn fragment called Horn-RegI of the regular description logic with inverse RegI , which extends the description logic ALC with inverse roles and regular role inclusion axioms characterized by finite automata. In contrast to the well-known Horn fragments EL, DL-Lite, DLP, Horn-SHIQ and Horn-SROIQ of description logics, Horn-RegI allows a form of the concept constructor “universal restriction” to appear at the left hand side of terminological inclusion axioms, while still has PTime data complexity. | VNU Journal of Science: Comp.

In contrast to the well-known Horn fragments EL, DL-Lite, DLP, Horn-SHIQ and Horn-SROIQ of description logics, Horn-RegI allows a form of the concept constructor “universal restriction” to appear at the left hand side of terminological inclusion axioms, while still has PTime data complexity. Namely, a universal restriction can be used in such places in conjunction with the corresponding existential restriction. We provide an algorithm with PTime data complexity for checking satisfiability of Horn-RegI knowledge bases. c 2014 Published by VNU Journal of Science.

Introduction Description logics (DLs) are variants of modal logics suitable for expressing terminological knowledge. They represent the domain of interest in terms of individuals (objects), concepts and roles. A concept stands for a set of individuals, a role stands for a binary relation between individuals. The DL SROIQ [1] founds the logical base of the Web Ontology Language OWL 2, which was recommended by W3C as a layer .
